The Governor of the Central Bank of Lebanon issued Interim Decision No. 13792 to amend Article Thirteen of the Executive Regulation governing money dealers institutions, explicitly prohibiting them from conducting financial and banking transactions via electronic payment means unless compliant with specific prior decisions. The decision repeals all existing approvals for such transactions and grants affected institutions a six-month grace period to regularize their operational status. It takes effect immediately upon issuance and is published in the Official Gazette, thereby aligning money dealers' electronic payment activities with the regulatory framework established under Law No. 347 of August 6, 2001.
