BC-5.2 BC-5.2 General guidance on administration of dishonoured cheques
BC-5.2.1
FCBs that wish to issue cheque guarantee cards for an amount not exceeding BD 200 may do so — subject to informing the Director of Banking Services at the Agency of their intention and the arrangements governing the issue of such cards.
BC-5.2.2
FCBs, generally, should take steps to extend their administrative supervision and control over current account customers (in particular those who are in repeated breach of normally-accepted behaviour), and to stress to account holders the need for an appropriate level of discipline in the usage of cheques.
BC-5.2.3
FCBs should exercise greater vigilance over borrowers, especially in the area of consumer finance, where such borrowers maintain their current accounts at a bank or banks other than at the lending bank.
BC-5.2.4
The Agency will monitor the incidence of returned cheques on a monthly basis (as stipulated in section BC-5.1) in order to determine the extent to which such incidence is being reduced or otherwise.
