FinDatEx guidance regarding support of TPT templates V3 and V4

BRUSSELS, 16 July 2020 – The Financial Data Exchange Templates (FinDatEx) platform announces the following updated guidance regarding the support and use of the different versions of TPT templates.

The FinDatEx SII WG strongly recommends that market participants no longer use TPT V3 and TPT V4, as these are no longer maintained, after the last Solvency II reporting period of 2020. After this period, these reports may no longer be considered as “standard”.

The use of TPT V5 and all other FinDatEx templates is not compulsory, and they are provided to the industry free of charge and free of any intellectual property rights.

In order to preserve costs and data quality benefits of the TPT template, it is key to limit the usage of its different versions.

The TPT V5, which encompasses the latest regulatory evolutions, with some very limited changes from the V4, is already used by a large part of participants.

TPT V3 – published 31/12/2015, end of delivery date (*) 01/02/2021

Comments:

• Is not aligned with the latest version of Solvency 2 regulation.
• Does not guarantee the same level of data quality as the other versions.
• Not supported by FinDatEx Working group since April 2020

TPT V4 – published 30/09/2018, end of delivery date (*) 01/02/2021

Comments:

• Is not aligned with the latest version of Solvency 2 regulation.
• Not supported by FinDatEx Working group since July 2020

TPT V5 – published 31/03/2020

Comments:

• Aligned with current Solvency regulation

(*) End of delivery date means that after this date the respective version of the TPT template should no longer be used for reporting purposes.
