Dominican Republic banking regulatory updates
Overview
The Superintendencia de Bancos (SB) in the Dominican Republic has implemented new measures focused on regulatory efficiency and consumer protection.
In September 2026, the SB introduced the Simplification, Modernization, and Self-Management of Regulatory Compliance (SIMA) strategy. This mechanism allows financial entities, exchange intermediaries, and fiduciaries to request the inactivation of reporting obligations that do not apply to their specific business models, aiming to reduce unnecessary operational burdens while maintaining supervisory quality.
By October 2026, the SB expanded its initiatives to include financial health and debt prevention. This strategy includes releasing guides for users to evaluate credit necessity and repayment capacity, as well as urging financial institutions to adopt ethical debt collection practices that respect the dignity of debtors. Additionally, the SB highlighted the ProUsuario service, which allows citizens to access financial information regarding their own accounts or those of managed companies and deceased relatives, provided they present proper legal authorization.
