• Evolution of Module

    • LR-A.2.1

      This Module (Module LR — "Licensing and Authorisation Requirements") was first issued in July 2004, as part of the initial release of Volume 1 of the BMA Rulebook. It was subsequently reissued in full in July 2006 (and renamed "Licensing Requirements").

    • LR-A.2.2

      The reissued Module was one of several Modules modified to reflect the introduction of the BMA's new integrated license framework. Module LR was amended to reflect the new conventional bank licenses introduced by the framework, and to more closely align its presentation with that found in other BMA Rulebook volumes.

    • LR-A.2.3

      The reissued Module is dated July 2006. All subsequent changes are dated with the month and year when the change was made, at the base of the relevant page and in the Table of Contents. Chapter UG-3 of Module UG provides further details on Rulebook maintenance and control.
