Decisions of the Board of Directors of the National Financial Market Commission – 14 April 2026
The Board of Directors of the National Financial Market Commission (CNPF) adopted decisions on 14 April 2026 amending fee collection rules to align with Law No. 189/2025 and enforcing compliance after BC “OTP Bank” SA violated consumer credit regulations by omitting pre-contractual information and embedding abusive clauses. The regulatory amendment updates fee calculation mechanisms, extends applicability to savings and loan associations, and mandates clearer penalty and banking day definitions to improve market transparency without increasing costs. Concurrently, the CNPF will file court action to nullify the identified restrictive contract terms and advance a new consumer credit framework alongside specialized training on crypto-asset supervision.
