What is Banking & Finance Law?

Banking & Finance Law governs the operations of financial institutions, the provision of financial services, and the regulation of financial transactions. This area of law ensures transparency, accountability, and compliance with national and international standards.

Under the Republic of Cameroon's Law Code, Banking & Finance Law is primarily regulated by:

  • The Banking Commission of Central Africa (COBAC), which oversees banking operations under the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC).
  • The OHADA Uniform Act on Securities, which regulates securities and guarantees.
  • The Financial Market Commission of Cameroon, which supervises stock exchange activities.
  • International Financial Agreements, such as Basel III standards, which promote financial stability globally.

Our firm specializes in providing legal services for transactions, regulatory compliance, and financial disputes, ensuring that our clients operate with confidence in a highly regulated sector.
