What are the regulatory deadlines to watch in July?

Slovakia

On April 14, 2026, the Law Amending and Supplementing Act No.297/2008 Coll. on protection against legalisation of proceeds from crime and on protection against financing of terrorism and on amending and supplementing certain acts was published in the official gazette. These amendments come into effect on June 1, 2026, except for Article XI, points 14 and 15, which shall enter into force on July 10, 2026. 

UK

On February 11, 2026, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued its policy statement (PS26/1) setting out its approach to the regulation of deferred payment credit (DPC), otherwise known as unregulated buy now, pay later (BNPL). 

DPC refers specifically to an interest‑free credit product, repayable in 12 or fewer instalments in 12 months or less and which is currently exempt from regulation. From the regulation day of July 15, 2026, firms will require the relevant authorisations or be under the TPR to provide relevant DPC services. This does not apply to merchants that offer their own DPC agreements directly, or those brokering DPC agreements.

Firms with questions can contact the FCA at deferredpaymentcredit@fca.org.uk, or utilise their pre-application support service (PASS).

Belarus

On June 29, 2026, the Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of Belarus on Measures to Implement Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 19 on cryptobanks was published in the official legal database. 

The amount of funds to be recovered into the republican budget is determined by the Board of the National Bank on the basis of a reasoned decision, taking into account the following criteria:

• The circumstances that led to the violations (shortcomings) identified in the cryptobank’s operations.
• The cryptobank’s overall financial condition and its position in the cryptobank services market.
• Whether the cryptobank itself has taken (or failed to take) measures aimed at rectifying the violations (shortcomings) identified in its operations, the effectiveness of the implementation (or failure to implement) of specific actions to carry out the adopted measures, and/or its willingness to take such measures in accordance with the National Bank’s recommendations.

This resolution comes into effect on July 18, 2026.  

Brazil

On June 8, 2026, the Central Bank of Brazil published version 6.00 of the National Financial System Security Manual.  The most significant change in version 6.00 is the introduction of a second volume dedicated to Pix security. This new volume consolidates security content previously published separately in the Pix Security Manual. The manual now comprises two volumes addressing security requirements across Brazil's financial system and its instant payment infrastructure. The communication consolidates Pix security requirements into a dedicated volume, and establishes implementation timelines for updated security controls applicable to financial institutions and Pix participants.

Most provisions of the updated manual take effect immediately upon publication. However, specific requirements have staggered implementation timelines. Alterations to section 2.1 of volume II will be required in the testing environment from June 23, 2026, and in the production environment from July 23, 2026. 

Argentina

On May 13, 2026, Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) adopted General Resolution No. 1139 simplifying and restructuring the country’s anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and counter-proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF) regime applicable to capital market participants and virtual asset service providers (PSAVs). The resolution replaces Title XI of the CNV Rules and consolidates AML/CFT/CPF obligations applicable to securities intermediaries, settlement and clearing agents (ALyCs), financial trustees, mutual fund placement agents, and PSAVs registered with the CNV.

Certain AML/CFT/CPF reporting obligations applicable to capital market entities and PSAVs will become effective on July 1, 2026, with firms required to submit the corresponding information through the CNV’s Financial Information Highway by July 31, 2026.
