Purpose of the UD
The didactic unit Application of regulations of the financial system in real situations, of the Banking
and Financial Business Administration degree, has the purpose that the student learns to use tools that
allow applicability and decision making from the point of view of a supervised or supervisory financial
institution, based on the fundamental pillars of the functioning of the national financial system and the
respective regulations and regulators. Therefore, the student develops skills to perform effectively in
their daily work activity such as serving their clients from any of the possible positions they occupy.
In this sense, the Didactic Unit covers various aspects such as saver protection mechanisms; money
laundering; SBS inspections; the purpose and functions of the BCRP; the Consumer Protection and
Defense Code, contracts, as well as the Financial Client Ombudsman.

Rural “The Lord of Luren”
The Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS) reported that Caja Señor de
Luren de Ica, the first in the ranking of rural savings banks that operate in the Peruvian
financial system by loans, deposits and assets,
intervened, because the deterioration of its
portfolio of credits had put its viability and
solvency at risk.
The SBS also indicated that the Caja Rural Señor de Luren de Ica did not meet the
capital requirements to cover the loss of more than 50% of its effective assets.
"The timely intervention of the SBS has made it possible to protect 100% of the
deposits held by all the institution's savers."

The banking secrecy

Banking secrecy is the duty of confidentiality that financial institutions have regarding the passive
operations entrusted to them by their clients. This obligation is based on different theories such as
professional secrecy, good faith, the will of the parties or banking usage.
1.2 . Ways to mitigate the risk for the saver

Limits and prohibitions that regulate companies
The limits and prohibitions are indicated in Title II of the Second Section and in the other provisions
that regulate companies in the Financial System Law. These limits are intended to ensure the
diversification of risk and the limitation of the growth of companies in the financial system, up to a
certain number of times, in the amount of their effective assets.
Legal and optional reserves
The General Companies Law, Law No. 26887, in article 229, states that a minimum of 10% of the
distributable profit of each year must be allocated to a legal reserve, until it reaches an amount equal
to the fifth part of the capital.
In the case of optional reserves, they are formed by an agreement of the General Meeting of
Shareholders.
Effective equity
The effective equity of companies may be allocated to cover credit risk, market risk and operational
risk. Likewise, it will be determined by adding the basic assets with the supplementary assets,
according to the following procedure:
Main components:
• The sum of the paid-in capital, the legal reserves, the supplementary capital premium
The basic heritage and the optional reserves that can only be reduced with prior approval from the SBS,
if any. Additionally, paid-in capital includes common shares and perpetual preferred
shares with non-cumulative dividend rights.
• Losses from previous years and the current year that have a capitalization agreement
or the provision deficit that has been determined are added or subtracted.
Main components:
• Sum of optional reserves, redeemable subordinated debt and instruments with capital
characteristics.
The additional heritage • Sum of generic provisions up to one point twenty-five percent (1.25%) of assets and
contingents weighted by credit risk.
• Investment in shares and/or subordinated debt issued by other companies in the
financial or insurance system of the country or abroad
Minimum capital and application of profits

For the operation of the companies and their subsidiaries, the share capital,
contributed in cash, is required to reach the following minimum amounts:
banking company S/ 27,484,715

Financial company S/ 13,821,601
Municipal Savings and Credit Bank S/ 13,821,601
Municipal Popular Credit Fund S/ 7,371,521

Savings and Credit Cooperatives authorized to raise resources from the public S/ 1,249,473
Rural Savings and Credit Bank S/ 1,249,473
The profits for the year are determined after having made all the provisions
established by the Superintendency or agreed upon by the company itself.
Right of compensation
The right of compensation of companies between their debts and the assets of
the debtor that they maintain in their possession, up to the amount of those,
returning to the debtor's estate the resulting excess, if any.
Consolidated supervision of conglomerates
It requires companies subject to its supervision to present balance sheets and
other relevant financial information in a consolidated and individual form by
companies, as it deems appropriate.
Risk classification of supervised companies
They are companies specialized in the evaluation of companies in their
qualitative and quantitative aspects, which give an opinion with independent
criteria (objective), whose main objective of the risk classification of debt
instruments is to provide investors with a professional opinion, timely and
independent with respect to the credit quality (probability of a timely payment
of interest and amortization) of the instruments offered in the market.
Likewise, they evaluate companies such as banks, investment funds or
insurance companies, and national, provincial or municipal states. Their
sentences are expressed in letters and are called notes or ratings .

Considering what we have learned, let's review the following cases:
CASE 1
The main consequence of illicit enrichment caused by acts of corruption is that money is illegally
entered into the financial system. Faced with this, the Financial Intelligence Unit requests information
from one or some financial institutions about the deposits that these people have in their institutions.
Next, we answer the following questions:
a. What observations should the Financial Intelligence Unit make?
b. Explain whether deposits would be protected by bank secrecy.
CASE 2
Last week, a group of savers approached the Virgen de las Nieves Cooperative in Ayacucho, to ask if
this financial institution is under the protection of the Deposit Insurance Fund (FSP).
According to the case presented, we answer the following question:
What is the response that this Cooperative should provide to its savers?
CASE 3
The financial institution where you work has asked you to quantify the credit risk, since the placements
of the last year have not been entirely good.
Now, we answer the following question:

The head of operations at Banco Solidez, Mr. Rubén Manrique, is a very responsible and careful
person with his work. He is assisting a client who wants to make a deposit in a savings account for the
amount of US$200,000, for which he has to sign an affidavit of origin and destination of funds.
However, the client has stated that he is not going to sign any documents, because he is a former
client, and is offering the head of operations a “commission” to avoid this paperwork.
Next, answer the following questions:
Do you think the procedure used by the bank is correct?
Will there be any regulations for this type of case?
Is there any range of amount of money to consider a deposit for money laundering?

knowledge in the workplace.
1. Basic concepts
1.1. Money Laundering (ML):
It is an autonomous crime that has its origin in a preceding crime, which consists of giving the
appearance of legality to the illicit funds or assets resulting from said crime, so that they
circulate without problem in the economic-financial system.
1.2. The Financing of Terrorism (FT):

It is an autonomous crime that consists of raising legal or illicit funds in order to finance
terrorists, terrorist organizations or terrorist acts, in accordance with current regulations and
international treaties. Collection of funds or assets by natural persons or legal entities, whose
origin may be legal or illicit.
2. Main aspects related to the ML/TF Prevention

System
The ML/TF prevention system is made up of the policies and procedures established by the
regulated entities, in accordance with the regulatory provisions on the matter, through the
management of the ML/TF risks to which they are exposed. Its purpose is to prevent and
prevent it from being used for illicit purposes linked to ML/FT.
The ML/TF Prevention System must be applied by the reporting entity, its compliance officer,
its workers and directors; and, in general, for its entire administrative and operational
organization, in accordance with the functions that correspond to them. Its application must
focus on the detection of unusual operations and the prevention, detection and reporting of suspicious operations
that are allegedly linked to ML/FT, to communicate them to the FIU-Peru, within the established legal deadline.
Warning signs
They are activities and behaviors of those who move in the market, which constitute situations
outside of what is considered normal or usual.
Among the main activities we have:
♦ Large volume of check deposits
♦ Transfers and other negotiable instruments
♦ Transfers sent and/or received without apparent commercial reason.
♦ Sudden cancellation of credits
♦ Insufficient or adulterated information
♦ Pressure from clients to bypass controls
♦ Structuring or smurfing-small deposits
♦ Complicity of financial officer
♦ Complicity of financial institution
♦ Misuse of exceptions
♦ Use of front companies, paper companies, insurance, casinos, purchase and smuggling of works of art.
♦ Nonprofit foundations or corporations
♦ Purchase of lottery tickets
♦ False import/export invoices or "double billing"
2
^CERTUS)
♦ High-value vehicle dealers: airplanes, boats, luxury cars

♦ Trade in antiques, art objects and jewelry
♦ Entities incorporated in tax havens.
Customer and market knowledge

Let's observe in the following table what aspects we should know about the client and the market:
• Identity verification of natural and legal persons.

• Update information.
• Make visits.
• Verification of identity documents.
• Verification of statutes and powers.
Customer
• Banking, commercial, personal references, police and judicial references.
• Verification of address, products or services sold, type of clients.
• Monthly/annual income level, types of transactions expected, source of funds.
• In cases where it is required, the corresponding forms for the origin and destination of the funds
must be filled out, on a mandatory basis.
• Identification of the target market.

• Market segmentation by:
Market - Risk levels
- Product classes
- High-risk laundering regions
- Economic activities

Case 2
A client gets upset because the service promoter tells him that, for the deposit he wants to make of US$100,000, he
must fill out a money laundering form, and decides not to give him any information, because it is his money.
Furthermore, he states that, in the other banks, they have not asked him anything for similar deposits.

which were the “flagbearers” of fine print and abusive
clauses. As a consequence, currently, efforts have been
made to balance these contracts, seeking to ensure that
there is information asymmetry between the parties to

Miguel Agurto, being in poor health, received notifications to pay a debt of S/ 22
thousand for loans that he never requested. When he went to Banco VLM, they told
him that four withdrawals were made in his name, of S/ 7,250, S/ 5,800, S/ 5,000 and
S/ 3,500. When he requested information about how the disbursement process was
carried out, the entity told him that it was investigating.

9) Reflection on "9 what was learned
On additional sheets, we reflect on what we learned by answering the following

questions:
What difficulties did I have in How can what I learned contribute in situations
How did I overcome
developing the proposed them? of queries and complaints before financial
activities? entities?
Now, let's create a mental map about the functions of the Financial Client Ombudsman.
Summary of
what was
learned
CASE 1
A particular case is that of
Banco Continente, which
disseminates, through
advertisements and
brochures, benefits in the payment of interest “from the first sol or dollar saved” by its clients. But, in a table
published on the website of the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS), it was possible to
verify that the bank indicated that, for an initial deposit of S/ 1,000, the annual effective rate of return is
negative ( -7.1%), as was also the case for an initial amount of S/ 3,000 (-1.55%).
a) Could this case be an inquiry or complaint to DCF?
b) Contrast a query and claim in a table.
CASE 2
Although it is stated in the (banking) contracts, unfortunately, there are many (credit) cards where the
consumer is told that there will not be an additional charge, and he, confident, decides to keep it, and after a
year, receive one account per membership.
Share your conclusion with your teammates. And support your answer
CASE 3
In the newspaper Gestión, in an article published on 05/08/2107, about credit cards and loans, the following is
indicated: "Many complaints are related to doubts such as how much should I be charged?; What is the
interest that Does it apply to me for late payment? Here, there are many information problems, since the user
is not clear about why they are charged what they are charged."
Formulates and supports a possible answer to these questions, from the point of view of DCF.
CASE 4.
A client states that he had very bad service from the bank for his credit card; since they do not deliver their
account statement, which harms the consumer, by informing them that they may have an account pending
payment, and that therefore, their credit card is blocked.
Judge, if this case can be resolved by DCF, why?

consumer protection.
When we have a problem with a financial institution
due to poor service or a deficiency in one of its
products, then we think about filing a claim, but the
question immediately arises if this will proceed and
how we should do it. The website of the
Superintendency of Banking and Insurance (SBS)
recommends filing a claim, complaint or complaint in
the following cases:

Where can I report a bank?
Every time we have a problem due to poor service or the deficiency of a financial or banking product, we
think of INDECOPI, but we have also heard about other bodies such as the User Service Platform (PAU)
and the Financial Client Ombudsman (DCF). ).
So, what is the most satisfactory way to resolve a claim or complaint about a poor banking or financial
product or service?
What role does the Financial Client Ombudsman play?

1. Frequent cases of complaints.
The cases of complaints from users of the national financial system, in 2017, received by the
Financial Client Ombudsman , of a total of 1,942, we have the following:
PRODUCT PARTICIPATION NUMBER OF CASES

PERCENTAGE
Credit card 62.26 % 1,209
Savings deposits 18.59 % 361
consumer credits 6.49 % 126
Current accounts 4.74 % 92
Other operations and services 3.55 % 69
Mortgage credits 2.88 % 56
CTS 0.72 % 14
Term deposits 0.67 % 13
Leasing 0.05 % 1
MONTH Credit 0.05 % 1
The most frequent are:

♦ A consumption on my credit card that I do not recognize having made.
♦ A withdrawal from my savings account that I do not recognize having made.
♦ The financial institution has charged me an unagreed commission.
♦ I do not agree with charging interest for overdraft.
Cases in which DCF cannot intervene:
♦ I didn't like the way an employee of the financial institution treated me.
♦ The financial institution denied me the requested credit.
♦ The financial institution granted me a loan with a rate that I consider high.
2.Recommendations for prevention

It is important, to prevent the problems that arise in the financial system and its clients, the culture
of reading all documents before signing them. With this essential measure, we would be preventing
more problems than we imagine.
3. Claim resolution deadlines.
Article 15. DEADLINE TO RESOLVE. The Ombudsman has a maximum
period of sixty (60) calendar days, counted from the date on which the claim
was presented to the Ombudsman's Office, to issue the resolution that puts an
end to it.

“DCF Functions”
While a user of the financial system was
traveling for a few months, maintenance was charged on his savings account,
even though his contract indicates that the account is maintenance-free. He
has presented his claim to the bank, but more than 30 days have passed, and
they have not responded.
a. In your opinion, can the client present their claim to DCF if the entity does
not respond?
b. Can DCF act, in this case, even though there is no response from the
bank?
Transfer the table to an additional sheet of paper and answer the following
questions:
What activities did I carry out to achieve the indicator?

What difficulties did I have? How did I overcome them?
How useful is what I learned?
Now, let's create a mental map of the main errors that financial institutions make, which are
reported to the DCF.

.
CASE 1
A bank purchased debt from a client, at a rate of 11% and a term of 36 months. When the client
receives the account statement the following month, to make the payment of his first installment, he
notices that the rate is 17%. Given this situation, the client approached the bank to make the
corresponding claim. The bank defended itself by taking out a copy of the Summary Sheet where the
17% rate was recorded. Finally, the client made his claim, but the bank rejected it; Therefore, he
submitted his claim to DCF.
Describe the characteristics that the case meets so that DCF can mediate.
CASE 2
A client obtained a mortgage loan, and was assisted by a personal banking credit seller, who offered
him the loan with the Annual Effective Rate, instead of the Annual Effective Cost Rate, which has
caused the client to have a payment greater than what was offered. For this reason, the client has
presented his claim to the bank more than 30 days ago, but it has not responded.
Considering that the case is already more than 30 days old, can the client submit their claim to DCF?
and assuming it is more than 90 days, can the client still file their claim with DCF? Why?
CASE 3
Mr. Juan Del Toro Hurtado has approached the financial institution where he opened a savings account,
in which they are charging him S/ 16.00 for insurance that he has not contracted. When submitting the
claim, they responded that it is indeed debit card insurance, which they contracted a month ago; so he
requested a copy of the contract. When reviewing the contract, it is indeed signed by him, but he
assures that the teller told him that it was a data update.
In the case presented, can Mr. Toro have a positive response from DCF? Because?
CASE 4
Mr. Fabio Dávila, on March 23, 2018, sent a transfer to Cajamarca, which never reached its destination,
which is why he presented his claim. Likewise, Mr. Dávila has stated that the beneficiary approached
the agency on several occasions, but they told him the transfer had not arrived. When presenting the
claim to the bank, it reviewed the transfer document, and realized that the client had entered the name
of the beneficiary incorrectly, so the bank stated that the rectification would cost the “rectification
expenses.” But, Mr. Dávila is not willing to pay them, because “only the order of the surnames is
altered.”
According to what was seen in this session, could Mr. Fabio Dávila be a beneficiary or receive a
favorable resolution? Why?

Fraudulent consumption and cloned cards

INDECOPI indicates that the product that generates the most discomfort is credit
cards, because they are associated with a series of problems due to fraudulent
consumption, because they are susceptible to being cloned and stolen to subsequently
carry out consumption that is not recognized by commercial establishments. , which do not take adequate security measures to identify
the user or online, so the consumer is unaware of these consumptions and files a claim.

map about DCF regulations.

CASE 1
Mr. David Bravo opened a savings account in a local bank, however, at the time of opening it, they told
him that his account was exempt from the maintenance fee. But, as time goes by, the client realizes that
they are being charged S/ 18.00 monthly. For this reason, he files a claim, but the bank defends itself,
stating that this commission is due to excess operations.
Check, how can DCF solve Mr. Bravo's problem?
73
CASE 2
A client requested a personal loan from the regional financial institution. When signing the contract, the
lady from the customer service platform tells you that you must sign the lien insurance and the
financial protection insurance; then, the client accepts, since if he does not subscribe to this last
insurance, the rate will increase. Later, when the client carefully reads the insurance contract, he
realizes that there is a regret clause, so his rate will not change. However, they tell you that if you do
not sign, the loan will not be disbursed. In the end, he signs, but presents his claim, which is denied.
This case reached DCF, the decision must agree with…
Because?
CASE 3
Mrs. Juana La Cruz Solar, a month ago, came to collect five transfers that her brothers were sending
her from different parts of the country to purchase medicines for her mother who is in poor health. The
next day, she showed up at the agency indicating that she had not collected one. She remembers that
she signed only four receipts, but when she requests the missing transfer, it is already downloaded. She
has filed the claim, but the main office sent the images by mail from the file, and indeed, in one of the
transfers, the signature differs, that is, it does not correspond to the client.
Below, we answer the questions:
a. Check the validity of Ms. La Cruz's claim.
b. Can the case be resolved by DCF? Why?
CASE 4
Mr. Carlos Quiroga has filed a complaint with the DCF because, a month ago, he approached the bank
to make a payment for an amount much greater than his credit installment, approximately the value of
four installments. But, since he did not indicate anything, the teller took it as an advance payment of
installments, and not as amortization of capital, which is why the amount of the other installments has
not decreased. In reality, what the client wanted was to reduce the amount of his fee and for the term to
remain the same. At the bank, they have told him that the operation can no longer be reversed.
Describe the rationale that explains why DCF can act in this case, where the client is seriously affected.
