LHV will become a subject to direct supervision by the ECB
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) has
notified that it has designated AS LHV Group as a significant
financial holding company and will subject both AS LHV Group and
its subsidiary AS LHV Pank to its direct supervision starting from
1 January 2023. So far, LHV is supervised by the Estonian Financial
Supervision and Resolution Authority.
As a competent authority, the ECB exercises direct supervision
over credit institutions that are significant according to the
criteria of the Single Supervisory Mechanism Regulation. The
significance of credit institutions is determined according to the
criteria set forth in Article 6 of the Regulation, taking into
consideration the total value of the credit institution’s assets,
its importance for the economy of their state of location or the
European Union as a whole, the significance of cross-border
activities as well as whether the credit institution has requested
or received financial assistance from the European aid mechanisms.
In its decision, the ECB assessed that LHV plays a significant role
in the economy of Estonia and the group's assets accounted for more
than 20% of Estonia's gross domestic product.
LHV Group is the largest domestic financial group and capital
provider in Estonia. LHV Group’s key subsidiaries are LHV Pank, LHV
Varahaldus, and LHV Kindlustus. The Group employs more than 860
people. As at the end of October, LHV’s banking services are used
by 369,000 clients, the pension funds managed by LHV have 130,000
active clients, and LHV Kindlustus protects a total of
150,000 clients. LHV’s UK branch offers banking infrastructure
to 200 international financial services companies, via which LHV’s
payment services reach clients around the world.
