BC, Riga, 29.11.2016.Print version
The Latvian financial watchdog, the Finance and Capital Market Commission (FCMC), has adopted regulations that the banks will have to follow when preparing and submitting to the FCMC information about customers and their transactions, reports LETA.

The regulations have been developed and approved in order to improve processing of this information and to ensure effective implementation of the FCMC functions, the watchdog said.


The regulations establish a uniform procedure and form to be used by the banks when compiling and submitting to the FCMC information about customers and their transactions that the financial watchdog needs to perform its supervisory functions.


All this information will have to be submitted in the electronic format only, and all banks will have to use the same form to supply the FCMC with the required information at the prescribed intervals.
