Senior non-preferred debt
Senior non-preferred debt is a class of senior unsecured bonds created specifically so that banks could build MREL without subordinating their operating liabilities: it ranks below ordinary senior debt in insolvency but above Tier 2, by statute rather than by contract.
Senior non-preferred sits between subordinated capital and ordinary senior debt. It exists because the 2017 creditor hierarchy directive gave EU banks a statutory layer that can be bailed in without touching deposits, derivatives or trade liabilities. Full definition in the glossary.
Notional is summed over EUR-denominated lines that report an amount. FIRDS carries no exchange rates, so amounts in other currencies are counted but never converted.
