Issued by Registrar of Financial Institutions Dr. Wilson Toninga Banda, this directive amends the principal licensing framework for banks under the Financial Services Act. It establishes a minimum start-up capital requirement of K10,000,000,000 by replacing the existing provision in paragraph 7. Additionally, paragraph 9 is updated to mandate that the minimum number of board directors aligns with the Financial Services Risk and Governance Requirements Directive.
