LR-A.1.4

In other words, persons wishing to undertake deposit taking must also undertake the activity of providing credit. In addition, they may undertake any of the other activities falling within the definition of regulated banking services. Deposit taking may not be undertaken on its own, without the activity of providing credit also being undertaken. Persons wishing to provide credit without undertaking deposit taking may qualify as a finance company, a category of specialised licensee (see separate regulations regarding these: they will fall under Volume 5 of the BMA Rulebook, when issued in 2007).
