Supervisory Nonobjection

Definition

Supervisory nonobjection indicates that a regulatory authority has reviewed a financial institution’s proposed activity and has not formally opposed it. This administrative response from a supervisory body, such as a central bank or financial regulator, implies that a proposed action by a regulated entity, often related to novel financial products or services like digital assets, aligns with existing rules or does not present unacceptable risks. It provides a degree of regulatory acceptance, allowing the institution to proceed with its plans. While not an explicit approval, it serves as a critical informal clearance.
