The Bank of Tanzania issued these 2014 regulations to establish comprehensive licensing criteria and procedural requirements for entities seeking authorization to conduct banking business. Applicants must submit a detailed feasibility study, demonstrate sufficient financial capacity and capital sources, and ensure their board members and senior management meet fit-and-proper standards. Licensed institutions are mandated to maintain minimum core capital, obtain prior regulatory approval for structural changes and new products, and commence operations within twelve months of license grant.
