Money + investing

Start with published facts and their limits. These explainers are references, not recommendations.

  1. The CI$ peg, without the guesswork.

    CIMA’s 2024 report records the currency’s issue and redemption rate as CI$1 to US$1.20. That rate is different from a shop or bank’s retail cash quote.

  2. Which fees are you actually paying?

    CIMA’s comparison covers selected deposit-taking institution fees, not every charge. Check the bank’s current schedule for an amount; CIMA does not set those prices.

  3. Registering the company is one step.

    The Registry guide covers name reservation, an incorporation application and signed consent. The process depends on company type; business-licence requirements are separate.

  4. What does CIMA license?

    CIMA explains its role in licensing and regulating banking and trust business. Company registration is not the same as a banking licence; the page is an explainer, not an endorsement.
