Congress is processing a bill submitted by the government that contains proposed amendments to the financial system. Among other things, the bill proposes to establish a dispute resolution body that will aim to resolve conflicts between financial institutions and their clients.
This body shall act as a mediator between the institution and clients when conflicts occur in the financial relationship. It will also design and guarantee policies that give clients a better quality of service.
A self-regulated dispute resolution body has been operating since 1997, when it was established by financial institutions themselves through an inter-bank agreement. However, financial institutions were not obliged to be party to this agreement.
