Payment Service Provider (Other PSP) — Malawi
The Malawi category mapped to payment processing.
Regulator: Reserve Bank of Malawi.
The « Other Payment Service Providers » section of the RBM « Licensed and Authorised Payment Service Providers » press release (as of 2023-06-30, s.4(d) Payment Systems Act 2016), plus the « provisionally licensed to pilot » institutions (a native provisional-status axis — the source's own vocabulary is preserved, never flattened to licensed; the ET 3-state precedent). Mapped to PAYMENT_PROCESSING. Name-keyed. The PSP-side D1 capital/fees/timeline live in the Guidelines for Application and Authorisation of PSPs (an image scan, unread this build) — not published (honest gap).
Maintained: this official source is re-checked on a weekly schedule — last checked 2026-08-04 · unchanged since the previous check.
