Instituição de pagamento — Cabo Verde

The Cabo Verde category mapped to payment processing.

Banco de Cabo Verde authorisation for a payment institution (instituição de pagamento) under the regime jurídico dos serviços de pagamento e da moeda eletrónica (Decreto-legislativo n.º 8/2018) + the access regime (DLeg n.º 9/2018) + Aviso n.º 6/2019 (capital mínimo, fundos próprios, proteção de fundos). The « Instituições Autorizadas » register lists exactly ONE payment institution: MAXPAY - Instituição de Pagamentos, S.A. (originally authorised as a câmbio agency via Aviso nº 6/2013 de 18 de novembro de 2013, denomination Maxpay – Agência de Câmbios S.A.; on 12 March 2024 it changed its object to become a payment institution — the register prints this object-change history). The DLeg-8 service list may extend this to cross-border remittance; that read is deferred, so the mapping is faithful to payment processing. lang pt.
