Decision on the Verification of Authenticity and Suitability of Cash and its Return into Circulation

The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued a Decision mandating that commercial banks and other payment service providers verify the authenticity and suitability of all cash returned to circulation. The regulation establishes strict standards for manual and automated checks, classifies handling devices, and requires staff training and device testing to align with European Union standards. Compliance is mandatory by January 1, 2027, with entities required to submit an adaptation plan within two months of the Decision's entry into force.
