Please be advised that our Senegal Yas payment services remain inoperational as we await the issuance of a payment systems license from BCEAO. This is mandated by the new regulation in Senegal governing fintechs. We are in positive dialogue with BCEAO and other relevant stakeholders around this matter and expect a positive resolution in due course. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will provide updates as the situation progresses.
