May 26, 2025 - The Board of the Financial Market Commission (CMF) sanctioned Banco de Chile with a fine of UF 617.98 for granting loans to parties appearing in the National Registry of Alimony Payment Debtors (RNDPA, for its Spanish acronym).
Per Exempt Resolution No. 4,949, the bank did not comply with consulting the RNDPA, withholding and paying relevant amounts pursuant to Law No. 14,908 on Family Abandonment and Alimony Payments. The Law states financial institutions must check the RNDPA when granting loans and withhold up to 50 percent of the money in case applicants appear in the Registry as debtors to settle pending alimonies.
