The National Financial Market Commission (CNPF) issued an enforcement order to OCN MOGO LOANS SRL for failing to fully comply with Decision No. 28/3/2025, which required the restitution of overcharged payments to consumers. The regulator determined that the lender had only executed the restitution obligation for 24 out of 1,080 affected contracts and failed to properly notify debtors about the reduction of their financial obligations. Consequently, CNPF granted a 90-day deadline for full compliance and imposed a coercive fine of 250,000 MDL, warning that the penalty will become due if the obligations remain unfulfilled.
REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA NATIONAL FINANCIAL MARKET COMMISSION 77 Stefan cel Mare si Sfant Blvd., Chisinau, MD 2012, tel: (373 22) 859 401, www.cnpf.md, e-mail: office@cnpf.md DECISION February 24, 2026 No. 10/1 On the enforcement order issued to OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL regarding the compliance with the provisions of the Decision of the National Financial Market Commission No. 28/3 dated June 9, 2025, regarding the results of the thematic inspection conducted within OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL

4 in the course of the normal portfolio run (including partial early repayments and/or extension of contractual terms); 2) maintaining the use of registered letters as the main communication tool with debtors targeted in the Decision. In this context, as of December 5, 2025, the creditor sent 1,073 registered letters, related to a number of 1,080 credit contracts targeted in the Decision. At the same time, for 7 credit contracts, Decision No. 28/3/2025 was executed, without prior transmission of a notification to consumers via registered letter; 3) presentation of the status of receipt of registered letters, according to data collected from State Enterprise "Poșta Moldovei", from which it results that 611 letters were delivered, with delivery confirmation, 307 letters were received by clients, 304 letters were not received by the recipients, and 462 letters were in the process of delivery at the time of reporting; 4) reduction of the financial obligations of debtors targeted in the Decision, through execution or initiation of execution of Decision No. 28/3/2025 for 18 credit contracts, by signing additional agreements with the respective consumers. The corresponding data were synthesized in a detailed table attached to the report.
On January 23, 2026, OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL transmitted the request regarding informing about the correctness of the execution of Decision No. 28/3/2025 (registered at CNPF under No. 407), by which it requested information regarding the CNPF opinion on the progress made by the creditor until the expiration of the execution deadline of the Decision.
At the same time, on January 26, 2026, CNPF initiated, ex officio, the administrative procedure regarding the verification of the execution of the provisions set forth in point 3 of Decision No. 28/3/2025, a fact communicated to the participant at the email address info@mogo.md, by letter No. 04-5/230 dated January 26, 2026. Through the same letter, CNPF requested the creditor to present, within 10 working days, detailed explanations, excluding information previously reported, in order to execute point 5 of the Decision. Furthermore, through the aforementioned letter, CNPF requested the presentation of reasons for non-execution of point 3 of Decision No. 28/3/2025. Subsequently, the administrative procedure, initiated ex officio, was suspended by the Order of the CNPF President No. 24 dated January 26, 2026 regarding the suspension of the administrative procedure, initiated ex officio, by CNPF letter No. 04-5/230 dated January 26, 2026, with respect to OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL until February 9, 2026 inclusive.
Correlatively, it should be noted that, by Decision No. 38/1 dated August 8, 2025 regarding the Preliminary Request submitted by OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL, regarding cancellation of the Decision of the National Financial Market Commission No. 28/3 dated June 9, 2025 regarding the results of the thematic inspection conducted within OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL (Decision No. 38/1/2025), CNPF partially admitted the Preliminary Request regarding cancellation of Decision No. 28/3/2025, namely the verification of execution of the Decision will be carried out taking into account point 2 – 3 of the operative part of Decision No. 38/1/2025.
On the basis of Art. 80 para. (1) of the Administrative Code, by Order of the CNPF President No. 33 dated January 30, 2026 regarding the connection of administrative
5 procedures, initiated on the basis of the request of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL, and ex officio, by letter of the National Financial Market Commission No. 04-5/230 dated January 26, 2026, the administrative procedures, initiated on the basis of the request of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL, on January 23, 2026, and ex officio, on January 26, 2026, were connected.
Consequently, on February 9, 2026, OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL presented the explanations and documents requested by CNPF (documents registered under No. 783), attaching copies of notifications/resolution declarations, as well as copies of early repayment requests, related to debtors targeted in Annex No. 4 to the letter of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL (registered at CNPF under No. 8813 on December 8, 2025).
By Order of the CNPF President No. 73 dated February 20, 2026 regarding extension of the general term of the administrative procedure, initiated on the basis of the request of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL dated January 23, 2026, and ex officio, by CNPF letter No. 04-5/230 dated January 26, 2026, the term of the administrative procedure was extended by 15 days.
As a result of examining the monthly reports, explanations and information presented by OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL, as well as from other materials held by CNPF, it is revealed:
Regarding the execution of the provisions set forth in point 3 of the Decision
11.1. From the analysis of the administrative case materials, it results that the provision regarding "refund within 180 days of all payments provided for in the credit contracts, listed in Annexes No. 3, No. 4 as well as in Annexes No. 5 and No. 6 of the Inspection Act, (which include interest, fees, taxes, penalties, late interest and any other type of payment), except for the initial disbursed amount" was executed only with respect to 24 credit contracts out of 1080.
11.2. Detailed analysis of the creditor's actions reveals that, during the period of execution of the provision set forth in point 3 of the Decision, 572 credit contracts were resolved or closed. In this context, the creditor did not ensure full refund of the amounts collected exceeding the total value of the credit, given that, for 330 out of 390 contracts with status "Closed", the total amount paid by debtors exceeds the initially disbursed amount. A similar approach was observed in the case of 26 credit contracts with status "Terminated".
11.3. In order to clarify the respective circumstances and determine the manner and progress of execution of the provisions established by Decision No. 28/3/2025, CNPF, on the basis of Art. 44 para. (5) and Art. 87 para. (1) lit. a) of the Administrative Code, conducted hearings of five debtors, selected randomly, whose credit contracts are included in Annex No. 4 to the letter of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL (registered at CNPF under No. 8813 dated December 8, 2025). During the hearings, all debtors stated that the creditor did not inform them about the reduction of payment obligations corresponding to the Decision.
11.4. Regarding the execution of the provision concerning "[...] if applicable, notification of the debtors listed in the credit contracts in the aforementioned annexes about the fact that the creditor has collected only the disbursed amount.", it should be noted that the creditor sent 1073 letters to debtors, via State Enterprise "Poșta Moldovei", with the following content:
6 "[...] OCN "Mogo Loans" S.R.L. appreciates and respects long-term cooperation with its clients. Based on the provisions of Law No. 202/2013 on Consumer Credit Contracts, we wish to invite you to our office to discuss the financial obligations of the parties within the credit contract [...]. If you are interested, please contact us within 30 days from the date of viewing this notification to schedule a meeting at the office located in Chisinau city, Botanica sector, Cuza Vodă Blvd. 20/A, MD-2060. [...]".
11.5. By comparison with the provision set forth in point 3 of Decision No. 28/3/2025, which stipulates "[...] notification of the debtors listed in the aforementioned annexes about the fact that the creditor has collected only the disbursed amount.", it is established that the content thereof does not serve the object of the provision.
Regarding the provision established in point 4, it should be noted that this implies a continuous execution within all future contracts. At the same time, it should be noted that, on May 6, 2025, in the context of the ongoing administrative control procedure, OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL notified CNPF about modifying the form of "Standard Information on Consumer Credit" in full compliance with Law No. 202/2013 on Consumer Credit Contracts and about the intention to continue using it. Thus, in the absence of any petitions or other information received subsequently, which would attest to the use of a non-compliant form, this provision cannot be considered as unexecuted.
Under the conditions stated above, it is established that OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL has not fully executed the provisions of Decision No. 28/3/2025, a fact which requires CNPF to take measures prescribed by administrative legislation, in order to enforce the administrative act. In this regard, it should be recorded, a priori, that Decision No. 28/3/2025 represents an individual administrative act unfavorable, within the meaning of Art. 10 para. (1), in conjunction with Art. 11 para. (1) lit. a) of the Administrative Code, namely, it produces legal effects. Consequently, under the conditions of Art. 179 para. (4) of the Administrative Code, the Decision is enforceable and should be subject to execution under the conditions provided by Title VII of the Administrative Code.
Thus, deriving from the nature of the administrative act, under the conditions of Art. 179, combined with the provisions of Art. 181 and Art. 185 para. (1) of the Administrative Code, execution of the Decision can be achieved by applying the coercive measure in the form of a coercive fine.
According to Art. 181 para. (4) of the Administrative Code, "(4) The amount of the coercive fine is at least 20 and at most 10,000 conventional units. One conventional unit equals 50 lei. In setting the coercive fine, the economic interest of the debtor in non-fulfillment of the obligation concerning them will also be taken into account.". In determining the amount of the coercive fine, in order to ensure the principle of proportionality, CNPF took into account the number of contracts from which the monetary obligation derives, as well as the amount that should be refunded or which the professional should refrain from collecting, if applicable. Relating to the total number of contracts to those with respect to which the obligation was executed, it is established that the degree of non-execution is substantial (almost integral).
7 At the same time, CNPF notes that maintaining in the property of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL a sum of such proportions generates an evident economic interest in delaying or not executing the obligation, either by using these funds in circulation within its own economy, or by avoiding the reduction of liquidity. Under these conditions, applying a fine in a reduced amount would not produce the coercive effect pursued by the law, there being a risk that it would be perceived as an acceptable cost of non-execution. Furthermore, given the repeatable nature of the coercive fine, provided by law, it is established the need to set an amount that would stimulate prompt compliance, thereby avoiding the subsequent application of additional sanctions. Conversely, the coercive fine at the time of issuing this Decision must mitigate the risk of non-execution and leave room for increase in the event that the professional decides not to execute the administrative act. Thus, proportionate to the gravity of the conduct, the degree of non-execution and taking into account the economic interest of OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL, CNPF assesses that the amount of the fine of 5,000 conventional units, equivalent to 250,000 MDL, does not exceed 0.2 percent of the value of the unexecuted monetary obligation, being also, situated at the midpoint of the legal interval provided by law, without having an excessive or punitive character. In application of the principle of proportionality, CNPF finds that the coercive fine is appropriate for the legitimate purpose pursued – ensuring effective execution of the decision. At the same time, it is necessary in the absence of voluntary compliance and maintains a fair balance between the interference produced and the objective of protecting consumer rights.
In this case, it should be specified that the application of the coercive fine does not exempt the creditor from the obligation to execute the provisions of Decision No. 28/3/2025.
According to Art. 185 para. (1) of the Administrative Code, in the notice regarding the application of coercive measures, the authority sets a reasonable term for executing the obligation. In this regard, taking into account the fact that the initial term established by Decision No. 28/3/2025 was 180 days, CNPF assesses that, at this stage, a term of 90 days is reasonable, as this ensures prompt execution of the administrative act in the interest of the consumer, but also takes into account the real effort, which implies execution for OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL. Additionally, it should be pointed out that, under the conditions that from the expiration of the deadline for execution of the administrative act until the date of issuing this Decision 77 days have passed, the additional effective term available to OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL is 167 days, which is a period close to the one initially established.
Having in view the above recorded, on the basis of Art. 4 para. (21) lit. c), Art. 8 lit. b), Art. 18 para. (3), Art. 20 para. (1), para. (6) and para. (7), Art. 22 para. (3) and Art. 25 para. (2) of Law No. 192/1998 on the National Financial Market Commission, Art. 179, Art. 181 para. (1) and para. (4), Art. 185 para. (1), para. (3) and para. (4) of the Administrative Code and points 16 and 19 of the Regulation on the Organization and Functioning of the National Financial Market Commission (CNPF Decision No. 57/11/2022),
The National Financial Market Commission DECIDES:
8 point 3 of CNPF Decision No. 28/3 dated June 9, 2025 regarding the results of the thematic inspection conducted within OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL, within a term of 90 days from the date of communication of this Decision.
OCN "MOGO LOANS" SRL is warned that, in case of non-execution of the obligation set forth in point 1, CNPF will apply a coercive fine in the amount of 5,000 conventional units, equivalent to 250,000 MDL, which becomes due upon expiration of the term indicated in point 1.
This Decision may be contested by submitting a preliminary request to CNPF (MD-2012, Chisinau city, Stefan cel Mare si Sfant Blvd. No. 77), within a term of 30 days from the date of communication.
This Decision enters into force on the date of adoption, is communicated to the recipient according to legislation and is published on the official website of CNPF (www.cnpf.md).
