Residual Debt Services Ltd

Residual Debt Services Limited is the same legal entity as the old (predecessor) African Bank Limited. RDS operates under the curatorship of Craig Du Plessis , subject to the supervision of the Registrar of Banks.

Background 

The old African Bank, a subsidiary of JSE-listed African Bank Investments Limited renamed African Phoenix Investment Limited, was placed under curatorship by the South African Reserve Bank in 2014. Together with a consortium of local banks, the Reserve Bank and the Government Employees Pension Fund undertook to capitalise a new bank, which would acquired the restructured liabilities and a viable portion of the business of the old African Bank. 

The old African Bank surrendered its banking license on 4 April 2016 and was renamed Residual Debt Services Limited (RDS). That day, a new legal entity was established as African Bank Limited (African Bank), with a new holding company, African Bank Holdings Limited. 

All new business written from 4 April 2016 is attributed to the new African Bank. The residual book and other balance sheet positions were left in RDS.
