OakbayBusinessLive reports that Terbium Financial Services, which until recently acted as a paying agent for the Oakbay group, is not registered with the Payments Association of SA (Pasa).  

This has raised questions about whether it has breached regulations governing conduct in SA’s national payments system.  Pasa, a payment system management body recognised by the Reserve Bank under its National Payment System Act, said all third-party payment providers had to be registered with it in line with a Reserve Bank directive.  The registration should be done by the payment provider’s bank, which has to be one of the 30 members of the clearing and settlement participants at the core of the act.  Terbium has been offering paying agent services, for which it takes lump-sum deposits from corporate entities to divide up among suppliers, employees and other creditors, as part of its "corporate connect" package.
