About the Law
On the 4th of January 2023, the Comisión para el Mercado Financero (“The Commission”) published the “Ley Núm. 21.521”, known here as “The Chilean Fintech Law”.
Following this publication, the Financial Market Commission (CMF) will continue to analyse specific implementation models through 2023 and early 2024, with further laws being issued in May 2024.
The Ley Núm. 21.521 is extensive and impacts multiple components of the Chilean Financial System. This document analyses the law’s impact on the Open Finance System.
The Chilean FinTech law is a starting point for the Chilean Open Finance System, but it is expected to be complemented by the Commission through a “norma de carácter general” (General Regulation).
