Article 6

Information about the capital at authorisation of the applicant credit institution

1.  
An application for authorisation as a credit institution shall contain evidence of the applicant credit institution’s issued capital, paid-up capital and capital which is not yet paid up, and shall specify the types and amounts of own funds that correspond to the initial capital.
2.  
Where the initial capital has not been paid-up in full at the time of submitting the application for authorisation as a credit institution, the application for authorisation as a credit institution shall set out the plan and implementation deadline for ensuring that the initial capital is paid up in full before the authorisation to commence the activity as a credit institution is effective.
3.  

An application for authorisation as a credit institution shall provide an explanation of the available funding sources for own funds and, where available, evidence of the availability of those funding sources, including:

(a) 

a summary of the use of private financial resources, including their availability and source;

(b) 

a summary of access to financial markets, including details of financial instruments issued or to be issued;

(c) 

a summary of any agreements or contracts entered into in respect of own funds, including, in relation to borrowed funds or to funds expected to be borrowed, the name of the lenders and the details of the facilities granted, the use of proceeds and, where the lender is not a supervised financial institution, information on the origin of the borrowed funds or on the funds expected to be borrowed;

(d) 

the identity of the payment service provider used to transfer financial resources to the applicant credit institution.

4.  
An application for authorisation as a credit institution shall contain an assessment of the amounts, types and distribution of internal capital that the applicant credit institution considers to be adequate to cover the nature and level of the risks to which the applicant credit institution will be or might be exposed, and an analysis, including projections, showing that the capital resources will be sufficient to meet the own funds requirements once the credit institution has been authorised, and thereafter for a period of at least three years following authorisation as a credit institution of severe but plausible stress.

The stress scenario and methodology referred to in the first subparagraph shall take into account the scenario and methodology used in the most recent annual supervisory stress test carried out by the competent authority pursuant to Article 100(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU, if any such supervisory stress test was carried out, and the information shall be provided both for the applicant credit institution on an individual basis as well as for the consolidated situation, where applicable.
