Surveillance Framework for Payment Systems and Means
The Bank of the Republic of Burundi has established a comprehensive surveillance framework to rigorously regulate national and international payment systems. Mandated by recent banking and payment laws, the framework defines clear approval criteria, continuous off-site monitoring, targeted on-site inspections, and risk-based assessments for payment system operators and service providers. By aligning operational standards with international guidelines, the central bank aims to mitigate financial, operational, and systemic risks while ensuring payment security, efficiency, and public confidence.
