The Mauritius Bankers Association Limited (MBA)
The Mauritius Bankers Association Limited (MBA) is the industry association for the Banking sector. The Association, which was set up in 1967, aims to nurture an innovative, competitive and trustworthy banking environment. It serves as a voice for the banking industry and represents its members as it works closely with stakeholders towards the development of the banking sector in Mauritius, and for the welfare of society.
The MBA regroups all commercial banks licensed and authorised to conduct banking business in Mauritius.
The MBA was first established in 1967 as an association of commercial banks that were authorised to conduct banking business in Mauritius. Its founding members consisted of the following five banks: Bank of Baroda, Barclays Bank D.C.O., Habib Bank (Overseas) Limited, The Mauritius Commercial Bank Ltd and The Mercantile Bank Ltd. Over the years, its membership increased to all banks operating in Mauritius.
Corporate Status and Objects
In 2001, the Mauritius Bankers Association (MBA) changed its status to that of a company and was thus incorporated under the Companies Act as a non-profit making public company, limited by guarantee. Following the coming into effect of a new Banking Act, in 2004, which provides for a single banking licence, all offshore banks joined the MBA as from September 2005.
