Not a bank. Yet.

A plain-English statement of what Canopus is — and what it is not.

Website communications

Descriptions of intended capabilities, strategy, technology, markets or products are statements of design intention only. They do not constitute an offer of banking services, evidence of regulatory approval, a launch commitment or a representation that any specific capability will be authorised.

Independent verification

The Central Bank of Seychelles maintains the official public list of licensed commercial banks. Visitors should rely on the regulator's records and formal public announcements for confirmation of licensing status.

Do not send money.

Al Nowais FinCorp and the Canopus project will not ask the public to send deposits or account-opening funds through this website while Canopus remains unlicensed.
