Amendments Proposed to Improve the Oversight of Moneylenders
The Financial Services Commission proposed amendments to the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Registration of Credit Business, etc., and Protection of Finance Users to enhance moneylender oversight. The revisions mandate stricter registration and supervision protocols while capping the asset-capital ratio at 10 to prevent excessive leverage. Additionally, eligible acquirers of moneylender loans are restricted exclusively to financial firms and other regulated entities.
