What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Council in Monaco approved a bank account reform on October 5, 2026. Under the new rules, banks must examine account applications and respond within 30 working days. If a bank does not respond within that time, the applicant can pursue a procedure to have the government designate a bank to open the account.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reform addresses difficulties individuals and businesses have faced when banks neither accept nor formally refuse account requests. While the bill still requires the Prince’s sanction and publication before taking effect, the measure imposes stricter operational deadlines on financial institutions in Monaco.
