Registers of institutions

The Institutions Registers contain the identification data of the institutions  (43 KB) supervised by the Banco de España or the European Central Bank within the framework of the Single Supervisory Mechanism.

They also include information on the activities which some types of institutions are authorised to engage in. The information available includes current and historical data, monthly changes and the situation as at 31 December of each year. 

The Registry of Real Estate Credit Intermediaries and Real Estate Lenders  (70 KB) from real estate credit intermediaries and real estate lenders regulated by Act 5/2019 of 15 March, providing for Real Estate Credit Contracts (LCCI in Spanish) currently registered with the Banco de España and the Autonomous Communities as per geographical area of action.

Please note that registration in this Register requires compliance with all the requirements set out in Law 5/2019 and its implementing regulations. Obtaining the training certificate is a necessary, but not sufficient, requirement for registration in this Register.

The withdrawal of the registration does not entail the deletion of the resgistered operator's data, but its transfer to "deregistration" status, in accordance with the provision of Articles 31.2 and 32.2 of Law 5/2019.

The competent bodies for the registration and supervision of real estate credit intermediaries and real estate lenders in each Autonomous Community can be consulted by clicking here, as well as the competent bodies for the registration of real estate credit intermediaries in the Member States of the European Union by clicking here.

The Register of providers engaged in exchange services between virtual currencies and fiat currencies and custodian wallet providers  (11 KB) contains the identification data of these providers, pursuant to the Second Additional Provision of Law 10/2010 of 28 April 2010 on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing (“Law 10/2010”).

Since 12/30/2024, this Registry has been abolished, without prejudice to its maintenance for informational purposes only regarding those registrations made before that date and which, therefore, can benefit from the transitional regime provided for in Article 143 of the MiCA Regulation.

Notwithstanding the above, it is recalled that registration in this registry was only conditioned (i) on the existence of adequate procedures and bodies for the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and (ii) on compliance with the requirements of commercial and professional integrity.

Law 10/2010 included these providers as obligated entities for its purposes and introduced a registration obligation with the Bank of Spain; however, it did not establish financial, prudential supervision, corporate governance, technological security, market conduct, or information transparency standards. The Bank of Spain did not supervise, for example, the financial or operational and security risks of these businesses nor does it have any competence in conduct matters over these providers.

Therefore, registration in this registry did not imply any approval or verification of the activity carried out by providers of virtual currency exchange services for fiat currency and electronic wallet custody by the Bank of Spain.

Banco de España publishes this information in compliance with a legal obligation.
