We are the Prudential Regulation Authority
As part of the Bank of England, we are responsible for the prudential regulation and supervision of around 1,292 banks, building societies, credit unions, insurers and major investment firms. Find out which firms we regulate.
We create policy for the firms we regulate to follow, enacted through the PRA Rulebook. Our rules require financial firms to maintain sufficient capital and have adequate risk controls in place.
We also supervise firms, to ensure that we have a comprehensive overview of their activities so that we can step in if they are not being run in a safe and sound way or, in the case of insurers, if they are not protecting policyholders adequately.

This sets out how we expect firms to interpret EU-based references in non-binding PRA regulatory and supervisory materials after the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and the end of the transition period.
