The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued this framework to formalize its statutory oversight mandate over domestic payment, clearing, and settlement systems. It requires system operators and participants to maintain robust risk management, governance, and compliance protocols aligned with the National Payment Systems Act and international CPMI standards.
