The Board

The Single Resolution Board (‘the Board’), as part of the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM), will be one of the key elements of Europe's new Banking Union, along with the Single Supervisory Mechanism.

The Board will carry out specific tasks to prepare for and carry out the resolution of a bank that is failing or likely to fail. A Single Resolution Fund will be set up under the control of the Board to ensure that medium-term funding support is available while a credit institution is being restructured and/or resolved.
