Through Resolution G.G. No. 83/2026, dated June 29, 2026, the Central Bank of Paraguay ("BCP") approved the Operational Regulation for the Registration of Payment Service Providers ("PSP") within the National Payment System (the "Regulation"), establishing the procedure, deadlines, and requirements applicable to the registration provided for under Law No. 7503/2025 on the National Payment System.
The Regulation provides that all PSPs must register with the BCP through an electronic registration form. The registration is declaratory in nature and does not constitute an authorization or license to operate. Each PSP is responsible for the accuracy and updating of the information submitted.
The Regulation also establishes a sixty (60) day deadline for existing PSPs to complete their registration and for new PSPs to register from the start of their operations, as well as a thirty (30) day deadline to notify the BCP of any changes to the information previously provided. The required information includes institutional, functional, and technical data covering corporate, operational, technological, cybersecurity, and business continuity matters.
The Financial Operations General Sub-Management (SGGOF) is responsible for administering the registry, requesting additional information where appropriate, and issuing supplementary provisions for its implementation. In addition, the BCP may publish a list of registered PSPs as a measure aimed at enhancing transparency within the country's payment ecosystem.
