Taptap send resumes operations in Ghana

 


Taptap Send, a leading money transfer company, announced the resumption of its operations in Ghana after a brief hiatus.

Effective immediately, users can once again send money from the UK, Europe, Canada, the United States, and the UAE to their loved ones in Ghana.

The temporary pause in services followed a directive from the Bank of Ghana, which had suspended Taptap Send’s partnership with local banks and fintech companies for one month.

This suspension was specifically related to Taptap Send’s newly launched wallet product. However, the Bank of Ghana lifted the suspension on December 4, 2024, ahead of the originally anticipated deadline, allowing the company to resume its much-needed service to the Ghanaian diaspora.

We are excited to resume transfers to Ghana for the thousands of Ghanaians who have come to rely on Taptap Send for their money transfers over the years,” said Darryl Mawutor Abraham, Head of Taptap Send Africa.

“We truly appreciate the patience, love, support, and understanding of our customers during the suspension period, and we remain committed to serving the Ghanaian diaspora in full compliance with all applicable regulations.”

Taptap Send, a global fintech company, offers digital-only cross-border money transfer services and operates in several countries, including the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, and the UAE. The company’s regulatory status remains intact, and it is committed to adhering to all relevant regulations moving forward.

As a trusted service for many Ghanaians abroad, Taptap Send’s return is a welcomed relief for families who rely on fast, secure, and affordable remittances to support loved ones back home. With the resumption of operations, the company continues to strengthen its commitment to providing a reliable, convenient service for the Ghanaian diaspora.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
