RegData is our new data collection platform for gathering regulatory data from firms. It replaces our Gabriel system, and makes it easier for firms to submit their data.
All 52,000 firms that provided regular regulatory submissions in Gabriel now need to use RegData.
Taxonomy 2.10 PAY module implementation update
As part of the EBA’s CRD IV 2.10 taxonomy, a new module was added for payment institution firms to report summary information on fraudulent payments. In the 2.10 taxonomy, this new module is called PAY.
Upon closer inspection of this new taxonomy module it was found that the information that the EBA wanted to collect was almost identical to the information that the FCA already collects via the REP017 data items (REP017, REP017a, REP017b), which were previously introduced to FCA reporting requirements under the second Payments Services Directive.
With the FCA’s remit to reduce the reporting burden on firms, a decision was made not to implement the new PAY module as this would mean that firms subject to CRD IV reporting would be submitting the same data to the FCA under two separate submissions. It would also have meant that if the FCA had decided to replace the REP017 data items for firms subject to CRD IV with the new PAY module, the submitted data could not easily be analysed or reviewed due to the different formats of data between firms submitting via PAY and those firms submitting via REP017.
Please note we are planning to release an updated version of the REP017 by the end of June 2021 to reflect current reporting requirements.

Using RegData
You can use the RegData system to:

Refer to our resources page for user guides and explainer videos to guide you through every aspect of the system.
If you haven't yet moved to RegData, find out how you can prepare your firm for the move.
In the future, we will:
- publish technical guides and the details of any system upgrades
- keep firms regularly updated on developments via our website and other communications channels, including Regulation Round-up
Technical requirements
To access RegData, we recommend you have:

Data items
The data items you submit won't change in RegData – you'll just complete your submission in the RegData system instead of Gabriel. We've already published help on how to complete some of the most common data items in Gabriel, such as financials or client money and asset returns, which remain the same for RegData.
We've also published data reference guides for Gabriel which remain the same for RegData.
Registering a Principal User as a newly authorised firm
Once your firm has been authorised, you will be able to register a Principal User in RegData. The Principal User will be able to set up and manage other users, as needed, once they have accessed RegData. Watch our short video or read our user guide on how to register a Principal User as a newly authorised firm.
