Is your money safe with SLIQ PAYMENTS LTD (formerly named: (i) Zing Payments Ltd, (ii) GAP Vassilopoulos International E-commerce Network Ltd)?

SLIQ PAYMENTS LTD (formerly named: (i) Zing Payments Ltd, (ii) GAP Vassilopoulos International E-commerce Network Ltd) holds an e-money authorisation from Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, which means client money must be safeguarded: held separately from the firm's own funds at a credit institution, or covered by an equivalent insurance policy. E-money is not a bank deposit - it is not covered by a national deposit guarantee scheme, so there is no automatic compensation payout if the firm fails.

If an authorised EMI becomes insolvent, safeguarded funds sit outside the insolvency estate and are returned to customers by the administrator - repayment can take time, and administration costs may be deducted along the way.
