Licensing and registration rules for payment systems and payment service providers
The Central Bank of Egypt establishes licensing and registration rules for payment system operators and payment service providers operating from within or outside the Arab Republic of Egypt for residents. The document defines payment service provider categories based on a monthly average transaction value threshold of 750 million Egyptian pounds over the preceding 12 months, distinguishing between Category A and Category B institutions. It outlines specific licensing requirements, including prior approval for establishment, conditions for granting licenses, required documentation, and procedures for license amendments, suspensions, or cancellations.
