The enforcement of DL 103/2025 marks the beginning of an incredible and profound transformation within the Portuguese financial sector. This decree, transposing EU Directive 2021/2167 on Non-Performing Loans (NPLs), sets rigorous standards that institutions must follow to maintain their banking compliance excellence. At Uniksystem, we are proud to announce that our platform is fully prepared to navigate these complex regulatory waters.

The New Legal Framework of DL 103/2025: What Has Changed?

The DL 103/2025 introduces structural rules for the secondary credit market, demanding an operational agility that manual processes can no longer sustain. Key changes include:

• Mandatory Debtor Notification: Under DL 103/2025, debtors must be notified within 10 days of credit assignment, or the transfer may be deemed ineffective.
• Credit Manager Appointment: It is now mandatory to appoint an authorized credit manager whenever the buyer is not a financial institution.
• Daily Reporting to Banco de Portugal: Instruction No. 1/2026 operationalizes DL 103/2025, requiring daily credit event reports to the Central Credit Register (CRC).
• Severe Sanctions Regime: Failure to comply with DL 103/2025 rules can result in massive fines reaching EUR 5 million.
• Consumer Protection: Maintenance of DL 227/2012 safeguards (PARI/PERSI) is required even after credit transfer.
