The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency, (HANFA) (Croatian: Hrvatska agencija za nadzor financijskih usluga), is the main financial supervisory authority in Croatia together with the Croatian National Bank. Its remit covers capital markets, insurance and occupational pensions.

Under European Union policy frameworks, HANFA is a voting member of the respective Boards of Supervisors of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)[2] and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).[3] It is also a member of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB).[4]
