The RPSCS and SVF licenses issued by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) are essential for companies in the digital payments and financial technology sector. The RPSCS license allows companies to issue cards and acquire and aggregate funds to support merchants and e-commerce players. The SVF license enables companies to issue and manage stored value instruments, such as digital wallets. Both licenses are crucial for companies aiming to operate within the UAE's secure and innovative digital financial ecosystem.
