Instruction for the Application of the Foreign Currency Exchange Houses Law

Exchange Houses must deposit minimum founding capital, obtain authorization within ten business days, and publish certification within eight business days. They must maintain a guarantee at least double social capital, increasing it within 30 business days if daily sales exceed 50% of the threshold. Monthly financial statements and currency reports using Annex No. 3 are due within five business days, with daily operational reports sent to the Central Bank. Annual auditor reports are due within sixty business days. Failure to maintain guarantees or start operations within three months triggers sanctions or authorization revocation.
