About this statute

This article defines key banking terms used in the law and says the Central Bank may specify categories and their modalities by regulation. This provision says the Law applies to banks and that banking activities are subject to conditions, standards, and prudential control by the Central Bank. This provision says the law may also apply to certain financial institutions, including microfinance institutions, savings and loan cooperatives, and savings institutions, under instructions issued by the Central Bank. No one may do banking business in Rwanda without a Central Bank license, and the provision also lists consumption tax rates and an import tax exemption for specified goods. A person or entity may not use bank-related titles or branding unless licensed, and the Central Bank may license a Rwanda-incorporated legal entity only if listed conditions are met.
