ECRI Membership benefits

  • ECRI Members have a decision making role in the ECRI executive board and, as such, decide on the main orientations of the activities of ECRI.
  • ECRI Members have access to all other CEPS advantages (for events and Task Forces), with the same conditions as a CEPS Corporate Member. 
  • ECRI Members can have a reduced price to organise a specific event with ECRI. 
  • ECRI Members can provide their views on the publications and events of ECRI (these publications and events are well followed among experts on the topics of retail banking)
  • ECRI Members have free access to all conferences organised by ECRI and CEPS (for the latter when CEPS Corporate Members do not have to pay fees): these conferences bring together senior practitioners, distinguished academics and high level officials with the aim of fostering the exchange of ideas on issues of common concern.
  • ECRI Members have free access to all Task Forces organised by ECRI (the objective of these Task Forces is to draft a report on a specific topic, with key recommendations based on the consensus made with the different members of the Task Force during a series of meetings. High circulation of the report is ensured by the vast network of CEPS and ECRI. The price of a Task Force is typically EUR 5,000 for non-members).
  • Members have free access to the  statistics produced by ECRI, which  are  used  by  numerous  organisations including international regulators. ECRI produces a statistical package every year, which costs 600 euros for non-members.
  • Members can benefit from the dense network and very high visibility of CEPS and ECRI in the Brussels sphere.
