Chile’s Financial Market Commission (CMF) has opened a consultation on proposed amendments to Chapter 18-5 of the Updated Compilation of Banking Regulations, which sets out guidelines on debtor information held by financial institutions under Article 14 of the General Banking Act. The changes are intended to facilitate convergence between institutions reporting debtor information through the Article 14 debtor registry and the Consolidated Debt Registry (REDEC), scheduled to enter into force in April 2026. The proposal is positioned as a harmonisation exercise to manage the coexistence of the Chapter 18-5 framework and General Rule No. 540, with the aim of ensuring credit information is consistent and reliable while safeguarding debtors’ rights. Feedback can be submitted via the CMF website’s Regulations Under Consultation section until 10 February 2026.
