PUBLIC NOTICE, 25 OCTOBER 2023
National Reserve Bank of Tonga List of Licensed Moneylenders
The public is advised that businesses and individuals offering money lending services must have a valid license issued by the Reserve Bank under the Moneylenders Act 2018. Authorized lenders are required to display their license at their main location, so customers can easily verify their legitimacy. Stay informed and make wise financial decisions!
The Reseve Bank seeks that we work together, to ensure a safe and secure financial environment for everyone. If you come across anyone conducting unauthorized moneylending, kindly report them to the Reserve Bank. Unauthorized moneylenders must immediately stop their operations and apply for a valid license from the Reserve Bank. It is crucial to know that any agreements made with individuals claiming to be moneylenders without a valid license are not legally binding.
Conducting money lending without a license is a serious offence, punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to three years, or both, as per section 3 of the Moneylenders Act 2018.
