The National Banking and Insurance Commission (CNBS) of Honduras has initiated a pilot project for the Centralized Registry of Beneficial Owners (RCBF). This mechanism is intended to identify the natural persons who maintain effective ownership or control over companies and legal structures.

Established under the Law of Transparency and Centralized Registry of Beneficial Owners, the initiative aims to increase corporate transparency and combat organized crime. The registry is designed to prevent the use of corporate entities for corruption, money laundering, and terrorist financing by uncovering ultimate beneficiaries within complex legal structures.
