Islamic Banks

Islamic banks are held to a different standard than other types of financial institutions in Somaliland. Since 2012 the Islamic Banks Law was passed in 2012. These laws offer clear guidance on the regulation of banks within this private industry. Understanding Islamic Banking laws can help you avoid penalties, civil suits, or criminal litigation.

Money Transfer Businesses

The more popular money transfer businesses became in Somaliland, the more the public and private sectors called for regulations. In 2019, their wish was granted, and the Somaliland Money Transfer Business Law was passed.

Our banking and finance lawyers have a deep understanding of the country’s money transfer laws and regulations to offer our clients top-notch strategic counsel and risk mitigation.
