Material changes
We have reviewed the documents following consultations with our local counsel. We can confirm that there have been no relevant regulatory changes since the last publication of this Country Manual.
Non-material changes
Recently, according to the Fintech Law and the Regulations issued for administrators of personal finances, administrators authorized by the Superintendency of Banks may provide advisory services through electronic means or technological platforms. However, further regulations are still to be implemented. These amendments do not impact the Country Manual, and we will continue to monitor further developments in this regard.
Some comments and content have been slightly reworded (without introducing material changes) to reflect the regulatory situation/current interpretation of the regulatory framework more accurately.
