Bolivia's Financial System Supervisory Authority, known as ASFI, said it plans to carry out 96 inspections of financial entities this year. During the first quarter, it already inspected two entities over alleged unauthorized fundraising, as fake investment schemes continue to draw scrutiny in the country.

Inspections and fake investment schemes

Bolivia's Financial System Supervisory Authority (ASFI) said it plans to carry out 96 inspections of financial entities this year. In the first quarter, it also inspected two entities over alleged unauthorized fundraising from the public, in a context shaped by fake investments detected in the country.

ASFI's remarks come amid its warning about fake investments. In the official post cited, the Bolivian regulator said the supposed financial entity GH CAPITALES is not authorized. That reference frames the supervision work the agency said it carried out during the first months of the year.

Signs of digital hardening in the banking sector

Although the available material does not describe any specific recent regulatory changes related to financial cybersecurity in Bolivia, it does show steps taken by banks to strengthen operational security. Banco Ganadero, through a communication distributed by Explainernoticias, reported the addition of an extra verification step in GanaNet to improve the security of transactions.

At the same time, among the sources reviewed is a guide to a cybersecurity course in Bolivia 2026, but that material is informational and does not provide a regulatory measure or an official change to the financial system. Based on the information available, the clearest signal is the combination of ASFI's oversight of alleged unauthorized fundraising and security adjustments in banking platforms.
