  • License Representation: the only possible to establish one or more representative offices in Panama, and perform any other activities allowed by the Authority. Using the name of the Bank represent the Representations should always include "Representative Office".

    Requirements for banking licenses:



  • Application by attorney duly authorized

If approved, the Superintendence of Banks will grant a temporary operating permit for ninety (90) days so that you can enroll in the Public Registry of the pact of the new company applying for banking license using the name "bank" or any of its derivatives, while the permanent license is pending.
