Payment System Operator — Uganda

The Uganda category mapped to payment switching / interoperability infrastructure. Regulator: Bank of Uganda. NPS Act 2020 s.9: establish and operate a payment system - infrastructure-only statutory definition, single-mapped per the dual-map rule (processing services are the separate s.10 PSP licence; an entity holding both gets two facts). Contrast ZA, where one umbrella SO definition spans both. Mapping human-reviewed and approved in the Phase-2 plan, 2026-07-02 (dual-map rule: maps_to follows the statutory definition; dual only where the definition itself spans both activities).
