SB Lawyers: South African Lawyers Prioritising Your Banking Law Issues

Daniel Schoeman established the law firm on June 1, 1997. It celebrated its 27th anniversary on June 1, 2024, and aims to celebrate its half-century anniversary in the future.

Daniel established the firm with practice areas mainly consisting of family and commercial/banking law. He had previous experience as a legal practitioner in Johannesburg and served a commercial bank for nearly a decade. During his time at the commercial bank, he was involved in the merger of several banks. He assisted the newly established bank’s human resources department on labour issues, for which he was specially trained at UNISA.

The firm expanded with the addition of Yolandie Borman in 2005. She is currently the director of the Family and Child Law division and co-responsible for the Labour Law division of the firm.

Banking Law in South Africa

Banking law in South Africa, a critical subset of commercial law, is governed by a comprehensive framework that includes the Banks Act 94 of 1990, the Financial Sector Regulation Act, the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, and other key legislation. This legal framework regulates and oversees financial institutions, including banks, cooperative banks, and mutual banks. The South African Reserve Bank plays a central role in regulating and overseeing the banking sector, ensuring compliance with prudential and conduct standards.

Banking Law encompasses various aspects, such as the protection of personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act, adherence to the Code of Banking Practice, and compliance with the Companies Act. The Co-operative Banks Act and the Mutual Banks Act further regulate co-operative and mutual banks, ensuring their proper functioning within the financial sector.

The Financial Sector Conduct Authority and the Financial Intelligence Centre are pivotal in enforcing compliance and monitoring the financial sector. The Financial Intelligence Centre Act mandates stringent measures to prevent money laundering and ensure the financial system's integrity.

The term foreclosure means that a bank has, by way of legal process (litigation), commenced with a process to seek an order of Court, permitting the bank to sell the property of a consumer bonded by the bank as security for the obligation by the consumer towards the bank. This kind of litigation is complex, involve the provisions of the National Credit Act and renders it difficult for consumers to protect their rights whenever a bank commences with litigation to, ultimately, seek the selling of the consumer’s property and the eviction of a consumer and his/her family.
