The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets has confirmed that mandatory three-year reliability reassessments for policymakers and co-policymakers at financial institutions in Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba ended on July 23, 2026. The change aligns supervision in the Caribbean Netherlands with the approach in the European Netherlands, under which a person remains reliable unless new facts or circumstances warrant another assessment. Reliability remains an ongoing statutory requirement. Financial institutions and affected individuals must immediately report relevant changes or new facts that could affect reliability, and the authority may conduct a new assessment when such information arises. The change, made through the Financial Markets Amendment Decree 2026, reduces administrative burdens for firms and assessed individuals.
