In November 2021, FinTelegram issued a Request 4 Information regarding the Cyprus Papel Group. At the time, Papel operated as an online marketing company. In early 2022, the Papel.com reappeared as a payment processor operated by the Lithuanian E-Money Institution TBF FINANCE UAB of Artiom Saltanov. Since a few months, Papel is a Turkish payment scheme, operated by the Turkish E-Money Institution Papel Elektronik Para ve Ödeme Hizmetleri A.Ş. Here is the update!
We are constantly looking for undiscovered payment processors to add to our digital map in this area. We have a particular focus on the high-risk payment segment, which plays a pivotal role for high-risk and dark-side business models. In Cyprus, besides BridgerPay, Praxis Cashier, and various white-label solutions, Papel (CY) Marketing Services Ltd d/b/a Papel (www.papel.com) is offering its payment services. This one has not come to our attention until today. Therefore, we would like to know more.
