Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR)

The Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) is the French regulatory authority responsible for overseeing banks, insurance companies, and financial institutions. Its key role is to ensure these institutions operate safely, fairly, and with financial stability in mind. The ACPR enforces regulations to protect consumers, prevent financial crises, and promote a sound financial system. It works closely with other European regulators and has the authority to supervise, examine, and intervene if institutions pose risks or fail to comply with laws, maintaining confidence in France’s financial sector.
