Do I need a licence to provide payment services in Jordan?

Yes. The Central Bank of Jordan licenses and supervises companies that provide electronic payment and money-transfer services under Jordan’s payment-system legislation.

The exact permission depends on the payment activity, including issuance, acquiring, money transfer or other electronic-payment functions.

A software vendor serving a licensed provider can have a different perimeter if it does not itself provide the regulated payment service.

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.
