Background

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) Supervisory Statement (SS2/24) mandates that all non-systemic UK banks and building societies must prepare for a ‘solvent exit’ scenario, and have the capability to execute one if required.

A Solvent Exit Analysis (SEA) document must be produced by 1 October 2025, while a Solvent Exit Execution Plan (SEEP) is not necessary unless solvent exit becomes a reasonable prospect or is requested by the PRA. However, the SEA should lay the foundations to produce a SEEP quickly and effectively if called to do so.

Solvent exit documents are receiving increased regulatory focus due to the number of new banks who have obtained or are seeking authorisation, as well as following a number of recent examples of solvent exits taking place in the UK market.
