The CBB will only agree to amend a license if doing so poses, in its judgement, no unacceptable risks to customers. As provided for under Article 48 of the CBB Law, the CBB may itself move to amend a license, for instance if a
licensee fails to satisfy any of its existing license conditions or protecting the legitimate interests of customers or creditors of thelicensee requires such a change.
