Documents to open in this workflow

This order suggests a starting point; revisit a step if identifiers, dates or versions disagree. Access and reuse terms depend on each service.

  1. REGAFI — banque et assurance

    Identify entities and authorisation scope in ACPR’s public banking and insurance register.

    What to record

    Entity, category and authorisation or registration scope. Access date and displayed update date; current state does not reconstruct all history.

    Source-specific check

    The unified portal combines REGAFI and REFASSU since July 2026. Check identity, category, status and scope; an entity’s authorisation does not authenticate a domain or contact.

  2. ORIAS — registre des intermédiaires

    Find registration and categories of an insurance, banking or financial intermediary.

    What to record

    Entity, category and authorisation or registration scope. Access date and displayed update date; current state does not reconstruct all history.

    Source-specific check

    Match ORIAS number, SIREN and category. Intermediary registration is not a credit institution licence and does not validate an offer or website using its name.

    Open source portal
  3. EBA — Credit Institutions Register

    Find credit institutions and branches listed from competent authority information.

    What to record

    Entity, category and authorisation or registration scope. Access date and displayed update date; current state does not reconstruct all history.

    Source-specific check

    The European register confers no rights and does not replace national registers. Check category, authority and country; authorisation scope does not cover every activity or product.

Frequently asked questions

What link should be checked before matching results?

Choose activity, country, category and authority; match entity and official contacts.

What if sources appear to contradict each other?

Registrations in different categories do not replace each other; retain each scope limit.

Do the listed portals provide independent confirmation?

Not necessarily. Identify the producer and underlying document. Two interfaces distributing one item can check transcription but do not establish a fact independently twice.
