To be the voice of European banks

The European Banking Federation is the united voice of banks established in Europe. It is a forum where best practices are exchanged, legislative proposals and initiatives are debated and common positions adopted.

To serve the interests of the European banking industry

The EBF represents, defends and promotes the interests of its members, promotes the development of the industry, provides value-adding information and efficient and professional services to its member Associations and assists new members in their accession procedures, be it to the EU itself or to the Euro.

To position the European banking industry within the European and global regulatory frameworks

The EBF is a partner of choice for the European institutions in laying out their legislative initiatives. Its aim is to ensure that the experience and the views of banks are taken into consideration in the shaping of relevant policies. The EBF also actively promotes the positions of the European financial services, and in particular the banking industry in international fora.
