416: Requirements relating to registered covered bond programmes

You could also call this:

"Rules for companies with a registered covered bond programme"

Illustration for Deposit Takers Act 2023

If you have a registered covered bond programme, you must do certain things. You must check the value of the cover pool property every 12 months and tell the Bank if it is less than the amount owed on the covered bonds, as stated in section 411(2)(e). You must also keep a record of the cover pool property and follow the rules and controls mentioned in section 411(2)(d).

You must tell the Bank about every covered bond you issue and any big changes to the programme that might make it not comply with the rules in section 411(2). If the programme or the cover pool no longer meets the requirements of section 407(2)(b), you must tell the Bank. You must give the Bank any more information they ask for about the programme.

You must make sure the programme follows the rules in section 411(2) and that reports are given to the bond trustee and security trustee. The Bank must get a copy of every report from the cover pool monitor, as mentioned in section 420(c) and (d), and any other reports they ask for, as mentioned in section 420(b).

If the covered bond SPV owes money, you do not have to follow these rules, but the SPV must give the Bank any information they ask for about the programme.
