The Bank of the Republic of Burundi announced that partial repayments to depositors of the former savings and credit institution INEZA IWACU MICROFINANCE S.A. will begin on November 16, 2026. Payments will depend on the funds available and applicable legal provisions.
The bank will publish a depositor list on its website and public noticeboard, specifying the processing date assigned to each depositor. Depositors with accounts in their own names at banks or savings and credit institutions must provide proof of account ownership so their repayments can be transferred. Those without accounts will be informed of the arrangements for receiving their funds.
