Inspection of the website of the financial company for violations of NBU regulations

In today’s digital environment, financial companies are actively using websites as the main channel of communication with customers, investors and partners.

However, not all companies are aware of the importance of complying with the regulatory requirements governing their activities, in particular the requirements of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU). Improper website management can lead to serious legal and financial consequences.

Therefore, checking the site for compliance with NBU regulations is a critically important stage in ensuring the legality and security of financial services.

The main regulatory requirements of the NBU for financial companies

1. Information transparency and truthfulness. According to the regulations of the NBU, financial companies must provide true and up-to-date information about their services, tariffs, credit terms, as well as other important information that can influence consumer decisions. The company’s website must contain all the necessary data to avoid any manipulation or misunderstanding.
2. Protection of personal data. The website must comply with the requirements of the legislation on the protection of personal data. This involves having a privacy policy that clearly describes how the company collects, processes and stores customers’ personal data. It is also important that all technical measures are taken to ensure data security.
3. Compliance with advertising requirements. Advertising materials on the website should not mislead consumers. They must be accurate and correspond to the real state of affairs, which is regulated by the NBU’s requirements for advertising financial services. Any exaggeration or false information may result in legal sanctions.
4. Compliance with requirements for licenses and certifications. The website must contain information on the availability of all necessary licenses and certifications issued by the NBU or other authorized bodies. This allows potential customers to check the legality of the company’s activities.

The procedure for checking the website for compliance with NBU regulations

1. Site content audit. The first thing to do is to conduct a detailed audit of the site’s content. Check whether the website has up-to-date information about the company, its services, tariffs, conditions and other important data. All data must be clear, understandable and reliable.
2. Privacy and security policy evaluation. Make sure the privacy policy complies with legal requirements and clearly explains how the company processes personal data. Also evaluate technical data protection measures, such as encryption and protection against cyber-attacks.
3. Verification of advertising materials. Analyze advertising materials for compliance with NBU regulations. Make sure that all promises and offers are real and do not mislead consumers. False or exaggerated information can lead to fines and reputational losses.
4. Verification of licenses and certifications. Make sure that the website has information about all necessary licenses and certifications. Check whether these documents are up-to-date and whether they meet the requirements of the NBU.
5. Analysis of compliance with technical requirements. Check whether the site meets technical requirements such as accessibility, loading speed, compliance with web accessibility standards. This is important not only to ensure compliance with regulations, but also to improve the user experience.
