Abstract. This paper aims to present how to quantify the minimum capital requirement for operational risk using three approaches proposed by the Basel Committee to identify optimal allocation of capital, given that until recently to this risk has been allocated a minimum attention, considering that it has a low impact on the business of financial institutions.

Keywords: basic indicator approach; the standardized approach; internal measurement approach; the expected loss; unexpected loss.
