Instruction No. 04/2025 of December 2, 2025 on Kwanza Banknotes and Metal Coins Deposit and Withdrawal Operations at the National Bank of Angola
The National Bank of Angola issued Instruction No. 04/2025 to standardize deposit and withdrawal procedures for Kwanza banknotes and metal coins across its strongrooms, regional delegations, and custody services. The directive mandates that financial institutions submit pre-notifications 24 hours in advance, adhere to specific weekly operating windows, and package cash according to strict labeling, sealing, and denomination segregation rules. It further establishes a 10,000-note reference unit, defines suitability classifications for currency, and mandates daily financial reconciliation through the Real-Time Payment System while revoking the previous 2025 instruction.
