B_03.03 — Financial entities providing ICT services
Purpose
This template identifies which group entities provide ICT services under intra-group arrangements. When one entity within a consolidated group provides ICT services to another entity in the same group, this template records that provider relationship.
This is distinct from B_03.02, which covers external ICT providers. B_03.03 is specifically for cases where a financial entity within the group acts as the ICT service provider (e.g., a shared services center or IT subsidiary).
The group ICT risk management function maintains this template alongside the intra-group arrangement records.

Relationships
Validation Rules
- Arrangement reference must exist in B_02.01. The intra-group arrangement must be registered in the general contractual arrangements template.
- Entity LEI must exist in B_01.02. The entity providing ICT services must be listed in the consolidation template as part of the group.
- Arrangement must be intra-group. The referenced arrangement should be classified as intra-group in B_02.01.
Example
| Field | Value |

| Arrangement Reference | CA-2025-IG-001 |
| Provider Entity LEI | 529900ABC... |
Common Mistakes
- Using this template for external providers. B_03.03 is exclusively for intra-group arrangements where a group entity provides ICT services. External providers should be recorded in B_03.02 instead.
- Provider entity not in B_01.02. The entity providing ICT services must be part of the consolidated group. If the LEI does not exist in B_01.02, the record is invalid.
- Non-intra-group arrangement reference. Linking to an external arrangement instead of an intra-group one creates a logical inconsistency.
