Additional Spanish Regulatory Reporting for banks and payment institutions

In response to significant regulatory changes in Spain effective from 1 January 2026, the Tax Desk Spanish Regulatory Reporting is now available.

Overview of additional reporting requirements

These changes introduce enhanced reporting obligations under Order HAC/747/2025, materially impacting the scope, frequency, and content of reporting under Model 196 and Model 170.

Financial institutions and payment service providers operating in Spain may be required to submit additional regulatory reports depending on their activities and services offered.

Who these requirements apply to

These additional Spanish regulatory reporting requirements apply to entities providing financial or payment services in Spain.

This includes credit institutions, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, and their Spanish branches. Entities offering account services, card-based payments, or mobile payment operations may be subject to one or both reporting obligations depending on their business model.

Reporting obligations depend on the nature of services provided. Not all entities will be required to submit both reports.
