Good Business Reputation (Section 44/C of Act CXII of 1996 on Credit Institutions and Financial Enterprises, as well as Section III/3 of Appendix 2)

Pursuant to Section III/3 of Appendix 2 of Act CXII of 1996 on Credit Institutions and Financial Enterprises “good business reputation” means the existence of the conditions that prove that the managers of the financial and payment institutions, as well as their owners with qualifying influence, are suitable for managing and owning the financial and payment institutions.

Good business reputation should be proven by the Applicant.

The method of providing evidence can be selected by the Applicant but the submission of further, accurately defined documents (deeds) may be required by the Supervisory Authority. During the licensing procedures, a questionnaire (see the following pages) whose completion and signing are minimum conditions of certifying good business reputation has been introduced and from now onwards will be regularly used by the Supervisory Authority. Besides the questionnaire, the Supervisory Authority may also require the submission of further documents or deeds, and during the assessment of the business reputation, all information that it has officially become aware of will also be taken into account by the Supervisory Authority.

Provided that proving good business reputation is considered unsuccessful by the Supervisory Authority, such decision will be established in a resolution.

The Supervisory Authority decides that an Applicant’s business reputation cannot be considered as “good” if, on the basis of the available information it concludes that the Applicant has not managed to prove the existence of those conditions which would make him suitable for governing a financial or payment institution.
