Statute overview

About this statute

This provision says the regulation protects users of payment services provided wholly or partly in Rwanda and addresses their rights and obligations. This article defines key terms used in the payment transactions rules. This article says when a payment order is considered received and lets the receiving institution treat late orders as received the next business day. A payment service provider must not refuse an authorised payment order, except in listed cases such as insufficient funds, doubts about authenticity, an incomplete or irregular order, a legal or public-order restriction, or a conflict with specific agreements. A payment order generally cannot be revoked after it is received, but there are limited exceptions and deadline-based revocation rights.
