Eurozone countries are required to participate, while participation is voluntary for non-eurozone EU member states.

As of early 2021, the SSM directly supervises 115 banks across the Union, representing almost 82% of banking assets of these countries. The SSM, along with the Single Resolution Mechanism are the two central components of the European banking union.
