Statute overview

About this statute

This law covers deposit-taking microfinance institutions and requires a special administrator to submit a monthly report to the supervisory authority, including whenever the authority considers it necessary. This article defines key terms used in the law on deposit-taking microfinance. Deposit-taking microfinance institutions are split into two categories: microfinance companies and microfinance cooperatives. A deposit-taking microfinance institution may receive deposits and carry out several listed financial activities, some only with supervisory authorisation. A company or cooperative that wants to do deposit-taking microfinance business must apply for a licence from the supervisory authority, use the prescribed form, show the required minimum paid-up capital, and pay the licensing fee.
