Banks in third world countries, as well as first and second world countries, are institutions that are primarily licensed, regulated, and governed by their respective central banks. That is what they have to follow up on first.
As banks deal more internationally, they enter into membership (full, associate, or even part-time) of various networks and working groups.
Such networks/groups have their own issued guidelines should you want to work with them. They are purely voluntary basis, but essential if you continue to work with these groups.
Some are frameworks, some are technical standards you must adhere to, some are mandatory, others voluntary. Again, they really come into play if you want to associate and connect to these networks/groups.
Else you are just governed by your own central bank rules.
