About this statute

This article states the purpose of the Regulation: to set operational requirements for money remittance service providers and promote formal, transparent, reliable remittance systems. This article defines key terms used in the regulation. Anyone who wants to provide money transfer services must meet the licensing requirements set under the National Bank of Rwanda regulations for payment service providers. Money remittance service providers may handle domestic or international money transfers, but they may not do other business unless the Central Bank authorizes it. A money remittance service provider must not do banking-style activities like lending, taking deposits, keeping current accounts, issuing letters of credit, or holding customer funds as a custodian.
