If one of your goals this year is to start save, One of the things that you must take into account, in addition to the interests of financial institutions, is not to fall into the hands of unscrupulous people.
The Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS) provides some recommendations to avoid putting your money at risk.
Revision. Before depositing your money, verify that it is a financial entity supervised by the SBS. (The list of the formal ones can be found here).
Don’t trust yourself. It is necessary that you be wary of the proposals that offer to obtain large profits in a short time in exchange for delivering the money.
Look: What should I take into account before acquiring a loan?
No guests. Do not invite more people to participate, you may fall into the financial pyramid mode. The informal ones often demand to include more participants for greater profits.
Stand your ground. Don’t be swayed by acquaintances who claim they are making big profits. Keep in mind that many times these informal companies pay what was promised at the beginning as they seek to attract more customers.
Make the complaint. If you know of any company that is carrying out financial intermediation activities without the authorization of the SBS, report it.
