Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Bank of Ghana has launched GhanaPay, a common mobile wallet open to the country’s financial services sector.

The wallet is open to banks, savings and loans companies and rural and community lenders, enabling the industry to pool resources and reduce the cost of developing and testing new technologies.

Launching the service, Bank of Ghana governor Ernest Addison says GhanaPay “seeks to address some of the challenges associated with the current bank centric models by providing an open application that leverages on network infrastructure of the entire banking industry”.

Addison says that the new wallet will help to expand the use of electronic payments, building on the success of the GhIPSS Instant Pay service over the last decade.
