System Operator — South Africa

The South Africa category mapped to payment processing and payment switching.

Regulator: South African Reserve Bank.

SARB Directive 2 of 2007: the SO definition ('services to two or more persons in respect of payment instructions') is SA's single umbrella at this layer - it spans processing services AND operating clearing/PCH infrastructure, hence dual-mapped. SA has no separate operator-vs-provider statutory split (contrast UG/ZM).
