Following Standard Chartered first edition of Guide to Payment Regulations, which was launched last September and outlines the prevailing regulatory frameworks and related licensing schemes for payments and e-money services, the company launched a second edition today that covers eight additional markets: Bangladesh, Nigeria, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
The latest edition builds on the eight Asian markets (Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore) covered in the initial guide, which has received over 1,000 downloads since its launch.
