About this statute

This provision says the regulation governs foreign exchange bureaus and sets licensing requirements and other conditions for carrying out foreign exchange business. This article defines the key terms used in the foreign exchange regulation. You need Central Bank licensing to operate a foreign exchange business in Rwanda, unless a written approval-based exception applies to licensed international money remittance companies. Forex bureaus are divided into two categories, and the Central Bank issues directives that set the geographic area each category may operate in. A person applying for a foreign exchange bureau licence must meet company, capital, location, staffing, banking, IT, and integrity conditions.
