Payment System Operator — Namibia
The Namibia category mapped to payment switching.
Regulator: Bank of Namibia.
The « Payment System Operators » named on the BoN National Payment System Participants page: Namclear (designated FMI — the national clearing house) and Instant Payment Namibia (IPN — the instant-payment operator). Mapped to SWITCHING (the clearing/switching infrastructure operators). Bank of Namibia (which operates the NISS RTGS, a designated FMI) is the central bank and is excluded from the licensee population. A small named list rendered in a prose block (not the matrix table) → curated mint (no parse_snapshot; a change → human re-mint). BoN set a June-2026 rollout for the instant-payment system, so the operator population may grow — capture-watch. Name-keyed.
