Credit Administrating Companies - Modifications regarding Minimum Net Equity and Risk Caps for Acquiring Activity
The Board of the Central Bank of Uruguay amended Articles 174 and 241 of the Compilation of Regulations and Control of the Financial System to exclude credit risks arising from electronic payment acquiring activities from the risk cap calculation for large credit administrating companies. Article 174 now assigns a 0% weight to these specific credits when calculating the minimum net equity requirement, which must remain at least 8% of assets and risks. Article 241 explicitly excludes debtors, co-debtors, or guarantors resulting from acquiring activities from the definition of included risks.
