Can a foreign fintech provide payment services in Jordan?

Not on a foreign licence alone. A company providing regulated electronic-payment or money-transfer services in Jordan must fit the CBJ licensing framework or an approved structure with a licensed provider.

Foreign ownership and establishment questions should be checked against the applicant rules for the relevant CBJ category.

A foreign technology vendor can have a different perimeter if the Jordan-licensed entity remains the regulated service provider.

Regulator: Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ)

Primary sources: Central Bank of Jordan — Payment Systems Legislations

Directional — not legal advice. Verify with the regulator before committing.
