Official sources — sandboxes, payments, and supervision (reading list)

When teams design sandbox experiments or explain supervision to partners, it helps to point to primary sources: central banks, regulators, and internationally published programmes. Below is a compact reading list—official portals and key publications—not marketing copy from vendors.

Always verify deadlines, fees, and eligibility on the live sites; programmes update.

Namibia

• Bank of Namibia — mandate, stability, and national payments context.
• NAMFISA Regulatory Sandbox — portal, forms, and notices for time-bound regulatory sandbox intakes (confirm submission channels and dates on the published page).

Neighbouring comparator — Eswatini (Central Bank of Eswatini)

Useful for comparing sandbox design, national payment systems, and FinTech programme framing in the region:

• CBE FinTech regulatory sandbox — purpose, eligibility, and staged process (including linked guidelines and application materials where published).
• National Payment Systems – CBE — legal stack and oversight materials that sit alongside retail payment innovation.
• Financial Technology – CBE — institutional FinTech context (unit, challenge, sandbox contact).
• BIS Review — EPS Fast Payments product launch — governor remarks on phased rollout and ecosystem expectations (also available as PDF).
• Kingdom of Eswatini’s National FinTech Strategy 2025–2030 (AFI) — national programme framing.
• Eswatini FinTech Working Group (EFWG) — multi-stakeholder coordination around FinTech priorities.

Global collaboration

• Global Financial Innovation Network (GFIN) — cross-border regulatory collaboration on innovation (membership and initiatives evolve; use the official site for current scope).

We will refresh this list as supervisors publish new portals or supersede older PDFs. If you rely on a citation for compliance or investor diligence, download or archive the official version you used and note the retrieval date.
