Decision Establishing the Tariff of Fees for Services Provided by the Central Bank of Montenegro

This Decision establishes a comprehensive tariff of fees for services provided by the Central Bank of Montenegro, replacing previous regulations. It sets specific charges for credit institution supervision, including an annual fee calculated at 0.065% of total assets distributed via a weighted formula, and fixed fees ranging from EUR 100 to EUR 30,000 for various licensing and authorization applications. The document defines rates for national payment system transactions, such as EUR 0.75 per order in the RTGS system and EUR 50 per transaction for SEPA SCT, alongside fees for cash handling, credit registry inquiries, and international payments. Payment obligations are enforced through strict deadlines, requiring settlement within eight days of invoice issuance, with non-payment triggering automatic collection orders against participant accounts.
