Central Bank of Lebanon Decision No. 13836 Establishing the Depositors’ Central Registry
The Central Bank of Lebanon establishes a Depositors’ Central Registry within its Banking Department to assign a unique identifier to every depositor across all banks operating in Lebanon. Banks are required to collect and submit depositor identification data and deposit balance reports via specific electronic forms (CDD-I, CDD-S, CDD REP1, CDD REP2) in two phases: first for foreign currency accounts excluding fresh funds, and second for accounts in foreign currencies and Lebanese Lira including fresh funds. The Registry facilitates the Central Bank’s ability to monitor depositor information for financial stability and allows authorized entities, such as the Central Bank Governor or specific legal persons, to request depositor data using designated forms (CDD-D1, CDD-D2, CDD-D3), with responses provided through forms CDD-R0, CDD-R1, CDD-R2, and CDD-R3.
