THE GOVERNOR

REGULATION NO. 002/2024 REVISING REGULATION NO. 001/2017 ON PAYMENT SERVICES AND THE ACTIVITIES OF PAYMENT INSTITUTIONS

STATEMENT OF REASONS

The reasons motivating the revision of Regulation No. 001/2017 on payment services and the activities of payment institutions are as follows:

1. The desire to simplify the Regulation by removing the annexes, as these are subject to modification based on the evolution of activities, and by moving them to the level of implementation circulars, since the Regulation is intended to be a text containing general provisions, with its implementation texts being more detailed.
2. The updating of legal references because the Regulation was issued before the promulgation of Law No. 1/07 of May 11, 2018, establishing the national payment system, and other legal and regulatory texts to which the provisions of said Regulation refer, namely:
   i. Law No. 1/17 of August 22, 2017, governing banking activities;
   ii. Law No. 1/07 of May 11, 2018, establishing the national payment system;
   iii. Law No. 001/10 of March 16, 2022, on the prevention and repression of cybercrime;
   iv. Regulation No. 001/2018 on microfinance activities;
   v. Regulation No. 001/2023 issued in application of Law No. 1/02 of February 4, 2008, on combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism;
   vi. Regulation No. 001/2019 on the protection of consumers of financial products and services;
   vii. Regulation No. 002/2017 on commercial agents in banking operations and payment services;
   viii. The foreign exchange regulation of December 28, 2023.
3. The consideration of observations and recommendations from UNCDF¹ during its national consultation mission from October 17 to 21, 2022, and recorded in its preliminary diagnostic report on Burundi within the framework of the Project for Harmonization of Remittance Policies in the Region of the Economic Community of Central African States, and transmitted to the Bank;

¹ The United Nations Capital Development Fund, created in 1966 by the UN General Assembly, is an autonomous UN organization financed by voluntary contributions and affiliated with the United Nations Development Programme.

4. The insertion of clarification on the categorization of payment institutions;
5. The insertion of certain missing definitions for specific concepts, namely:
   i. payment account;
   ii. interoperability;
   iii. e-money with restricted acceptance;
   iv. mobile payment services;
   v. fund transmission;
   vi. electronic fund transfer;
   vii. user.
6. Clarification, for reasons of protecting user funds, of a provision limiting the institutions that can be depositaries of global or escrow accounts to banks, the National Post Office, and first and third-category microfinance institutions, thereby excluding second and fourth-category microfinance institutions;
7. The insertion of criteria for identifying a legal person in a contract related to payment operations;
8. The introduction of a non-objection agreement for issuers of e-money with restricted acceptance;
9. The consideration of the risk level and the evolution of the activity of each category of payment institutions when setting the minimum share capital.
