The Palestine Monetary Authority issued Instructions No. 14 of 2022 to establish and standardize the licensing fee structure for payment service companies operating in Palestine. The directive mandates a non-refundable application fee of $1,000, a one-time pre-licensing fee of $20,000, and an annual renewal fee of $5,000 calculated on a pro-rata basis for licenses issued mid-year. These provisions take immediate effect upon issuance and require all relevant competent authorities to enforce compliance according to their respective jurisdictions.
