Explained on 26 October 2026. This is an educational answer drawn from the dated article below; examples are hypothetical unless a specific source observation is identified.
How it works
Examples can involve a failed payment process or a systems incident, but classification and capital treatment follow the applicable rules. Investors should distinguish the existence of a risk, actual loss experience and the formula used to hold capital against it. Those are related inputs, not interchangeable figures.
A simple example
A hypothetical systems failure leads to compensation and remediation spending. A separate customer loan default produces a credit loss. Both can affect earnings, but combining them under one vague “risk” label hides the different causes and controls.
What to check
- Read the framework’s scope and definitions.
- Separate actual incidents from capital requirements.
- Check the bank’s own dated disclosures.
