Illustration by baba

What happened

  1. 01Certain financial and advisory companies must record and share consumer calls under new Israeli law.
  2. 02Businesses must inform consumers about call recording and their right to obtain copies.
  3. 03If recordings are withheld, the consumer's version is presumed correct in disputes.
  4. 04The law targets sectors with frequent consumer harm, not all businesses in those fields.
  5. 05A transitional period allows businesses to prepare, but existing recorders must comply immediately.

The law includes a transition period but requires immediate compliance from businesses already recording calls.
