Commercial bank customers are appealing to their respective banks to provide deposit slips that have provision for the GH¢2 currency to facilitate transactions with the banks.
The absence of deposit slips that makes room for bank customers to deposit GH¢2 banknote was hindering smooth transactions
According to some of the banks, they have requested the printing of new deposit slips to facilitate transactions but they are yet to take delivery.
Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB), Barclays Bank, HFC and Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) among others have assured that the new deposit slips would be made available from today.
As it stand now, customers who wishes to deposit their moneys that contains the GH¢2 banknote at the bank would not be able to do so. Therefore, until the banks provide deposit slips with provision for the GH¢2 banknote, the currency will continue to circulate outside the banking halls.
The GH¢2 bank note was introduced by the Bank of Ghana last week to reduce pressure on the GH¢1 bank note.
The GH¢2 banknote will therefore expand the series of banknotes in circulation thereby providing a better choice to the public. The introduction of the new banknote would also reduce the frequency, and associated cost, of printing large volumes of the GH¢1 banknote
