Banking Law in South Africa

Banking law in South Africa is effectively defined by the 1990 Banks Act and simply covers exactly what a bank is allowed or not allowed to do in the normal course of business.

Banking Legislation in South Africa is complex

There are a myriad of other complex bytes of legislation that pertain to South African banking law but these are often so multifaceted that expert advice is required from specialist banking law attorneys. Examples of added legislation that governs South Africa’s banking law are:

• The Exchange Control Act

• National Credit Legislation

• The Financial Intelligence Centre Act

• The Prevention of Organised Crime Act

• Bills of Exchange Act

Leading Cape Town law firms offer a range of services pertaining to banking law, including advice on BEE specifications, advice on the acquisition of certain assets, leveraged and acquisitions finance, debt capital market and corporate bonds, structured finance, foreign representation, takeovers, insolvency and banking, and financial services regulation.

Common international banking instruments and requirements

Although banking law varies from country to country, there are a number of instruments and requirements that are applicable across the board, including:

• Capital Requirement - an outline of how all banks must handle their capital in relation to their assets.

• Corporate Governance – a framework intended to keep banks well managed. Specific requirements may include the bank being a body corporate rather than individually owned or in a partnership or trust. If it is incorporated locally rather than on foreign shores, the number of directors are limited and it has a structural organisation that includes offices and officers.

• Credit rating requirements – the vast majority of international banks are required to obtain and maintain a minimum credit rating from an approved credit rating agency and to willingly disclose this to investors and prospective investors.

• Reserve requirement – the minimum reserves the banks must hold to demand deposits and bank notes. This requirement is no longer about client safety but more about liquidity.

• Financial reporting and disclosure requirements – all banks are required by law to prepare annual financial statements acceptable to a financial reporting standard, to have them independently audited and to open them to public scrutiny.

The objectives of Banking Law

In this day and age when leading international banks are hitting the skids, the objectives of banking law are all the more important. There are five primary objectives:

1. To be prudent with a depositor’s money by reducing the risks bank creditors are exposed to

2. To avoid the misuse of banks by criminal elements

3. To protect the confidentiality of banking and banks

4. To direct credit to preferred sectors

5. To ensure systematic risk reduction

South Bank $74.88 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. South Bank is an area of London, England located immediately adjacent to the south bank of the River Thames. It forms a long and narrow section of riverside development that is within the London Borough of Lambeth and partly in the London Borough of Southwark. It developed much more slowly than the north bank of the river due to adverse conditions, and throughout its history has twice functioned as an entertainment district, separated by a hundred years of use as a location for industry. Change to the current use of the South Bank began in 1917 with the construction of County Hall at Lambeth and the Festival of Britain in 1951 redefined the area as a place for arts and entertainment. It now forms a significant tourist district in central London which stretches from the Design Museum in the east to the London Eye in the west. A series of central London bridges connect the South Bank to central London, including the more recent Golden Jubilee and Millennium pedestrian bridges.
