The Bank of Botswana has legislative oversight of the National Payments System (NPS) in Botswana which ensures the effective functioning of all processes relating to financial payments and settlements. This includes both domestic structures and interface with the SWIFT international network.
The Bank of Botswana monitors and supervises financial technologies (fintech) developments through the Digitalisation and Innovation Hub (Digitalisation and Innovation Hub), operating under the Strategic Planning and Risk Management Department (SPRMD). The Hub assesses the impact of emerging technologies on payments, banking operations, and market integrity, while ensuring that innovation is safely and strategically integrated in line with the Bank’s objectives of financial stability, consumer protection, and inclusion.
