PRESS STATEMENT


WARNING AGAINST MONEY CIRCULATION SCHEMES


The Bank of Zambia has observed, with concern, the continued participation of members of the public in fraudulent financial schemes. The schemes typically promote investment options. that promise abnormally high returns. Countless citizens continue to lose their hard-earned money to such schemes.


The Rank reiterates that any person who conducts or participates in a money circulation scheme or issues a notice, circular, prospectus, proposal or other document inviting the public to subscribe to a money circulation scheme commits an offence. Promoting such schemes contravenes, among others, Section 157 of the Banking and Financial Services Act which states that, "a person who conducts or participates in a money circulation scheme commits an offence and shall be liable to prosecution."


Members of the public are, therefore, encouraged to be on the look-out and report any suspicious financial institutions to law enforcement agencies. They are particularly encouraged to only deal with licensed financial service providers when making investments. This is the first step in safeguarding one's money.


Unlicensed institutions perpetrating fraudulent financial services and products and members of the public participating in such schemes are warned that they do so at the risk of prosecution.


The following are the institutions licensed by the Bank of Zambia:


Commercial Banks


Non-Bank Financial Institutions


Payment System Institutions

The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022.

The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
