The Lebanese Central Bank issued on October 10, 2024 basic decision 13672 under intermediate circular 712 which amends basic decision 13100 under basic circular 147. In details, the circular stipulates that in the event a bank had issued a banker’s check to one of its clients, it has to accept, upon the request of the client and on his own responsibility, to redeposit the check in the client’s account if it wasn’t used by the client conditional upon the absence of pending legal constraints or litigation between the client and the bank regarding the concerned check or the bank account in question. The circular added that the bank will have to reopen a bank account for the concerned client to deposit the aforementioned check if his account was closed. Furthermore, the circular noted that the client will be given the privilege to benefit from the provisions of BDL basic circulars 158, 166 or any other future BDL circulars if the client is eligible once the check is redeposited in his bank account.
