Regulation on holdings in non-bank payment service providers No. 9 from 11.01.2024
The National Bank of Moldova issued Regulation No. 9 to establish comprehensive rules governing the acquisition, increase, and transfer of significant ownership stakes in non-bank payment service providers. The regulation mandates prior authorization and continuous compliance monitoring for any entity or individual seeking to hold qualifying shares, ensuring transparency and financial stability within the payment sector. Originally effective in January 2024 and recently amended by the NBM Executive Body in November 2025, the framework aligns domestic payment services with European standards and strengthens supervisory oversight.
