Standard Bank becomes first foreign bank Re-Licensed by NBE

November 28, 20250

The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) has issued its first license under the recently amended Banking Business Proclamation to a Kenyan-owned financial institution, enabling it to continue operating its representative office in the country.

This new law places the licensing and supervision of foreign banks’ representative offices (REPOs) directly under the NBE's regulatory authority. Previously, these offices operated under licenses granted by the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration. As part of the transition, the NBE has begun the re-licensing process for all existing foreign bank representative offices and is currently reviewing new applications. Standard Bank, which has had a representative office in Ethiopia for several years, is the...
