Payment service provider — Sierra Leone

Register unavailable: Licensing of payment service providers is mandated — the National Payment Systems Act 2022 (s.6) provides that no person may provide payment services or operate a system unless licensed by the Central Bank — but no public register or list of licensed operators has been located anywhere on bsl.gov.sl (the Directory of Financial Institutions covers banks/OFIs/MFIs/forex bureaus only; the Participants-to-the-National-Payments-System page is banks-only). Operators that press/donor reports describe as active are not minted here (report the record — the register is the source; never infer any entity's licensing status from its absence). This page will carry the register when one publishes; the published D1 requirements are recorded.
