Issued by the financial supervisory authority, Regulation No. 55/2022 mandates comprehensive consumer protection standards for financial service providers, requiring robust governance structures, transparent pricing and disclosure practices, and equitable contract management. The regulation establishes specific safeguards against over-indebtedness, fraud, and discriminatory practices while mandating accessible digital services and clear communication channels. It further defines administrative sanctions for non-compliance, whistleblower protections, and sector-specific rules for insurance and pension services to ensure consistent financial consumer treatment.
