## Full section analysis

MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money dominate digital payment rails. The October 2024 Gambling Policy targets 100% digital payments across the sector and mandates partnerships with mobile-money providers. Rwanda is an ESAAMLG member (assuming its Chairmanship in 2025), is not FATF grey/black-listed, and requires STR reporting to FIC Rwanda under AML/CFT Law N° 75/2019. Broader banking-access risk is elevated by Western diplomatic scrutiny over the DR Congo situation.
