Zeepay tops them all at Ghana Club 100 2022 Awards

 

Ghana’s leading fintech and non-telco mobile money firm, Zeepay Limited emerged as number one on this year’s Ghana Club 100 list.

This is the first time Zeepay has entered Ghana Club 100 and it entered at the top, toppling telecom giant MTN Ghana, which held the number 1 spot in 2021, but has dropped to number 5 this year.

The list was announced at the 2022 Ghana Club 100 Awards held on Friday, 15th October at the plush Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.

The event was the 19th edition anchored by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) under the theme “Ghana’s Private Sector, a Catalyst for Post-Pandemic Economic Transformation“.

The Senior Presidential Advisor, Yaw Osafo-Marfo, who was the special guest of honour presented the award to ZeePay with support from Yoofi Grant, the CEO of GIPC Ghana.

Ghana Club 100 Award is about corporate excellence therefore establishments making it into the list are to serve as role models for the private sector and provide a forum for corporate Ghana to interact with the government at a high level.

Zeepay is a unique cross-border digital payments platform that terminates remittances from all over the world directly into mobile money wallets in Ghana and parts of the world.

In August this year, Zeepay raise US$10 million in a Series A funding (medium term debt) to support a bid to augment its fast growing remittance to wallet business.

The raise was led by Symbiotics BV with US$9 million and supported by a Mauritius-based fund with US$1 million.

Andrew Takyi-Appiah, Zeepay CEO

Founder and Managing Director of Zeepay, Andrew Takyi-Appiah I, said at that time, that “the raise comes at the time when we are planning to increase our annual turnover from US$1.5 billion in 2021 to US$200 billion over the next five years.”

Zeepay, which is fully registered in the UK as a payment service provider, also has footprints in parts of Africa and elsewhere through strategic acquisitions and partnerships.

This year alone, the company has entered into separate sponsorship partnerships with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and leading football club, Kumasi Asante Kotoko to support to development of football in Ghana. The GFA deal was worth GHS500,000 and that of Kotoko was GHS1 million.
