A fast-growing Ghanaian payment service aggregator, appsNmobile Solutions has received a Payment Service Provider Enhanced License from the Bank of Ghana.
The award of the license follows the passage of the Payment Systems and Services Act, 2019 (Act 987) which mandates all payment service providers to meet a set minimum capital requirements, governance and system standards before operating.
The Chief Executive Officer of appsNmobile Solutions, Richard Bansah expressed optimism about the future and the Fintech ecosystem in the country following its license from the Central Bank.
He added that the licensing regime will attract confidence and trust for the payment service providers. This, according to him, “will enable payment service providers develop innovative products in partnership with banks and other licensed companies to promote financial inclusion and ensure that end users are the winners at the end of the day. Today, there are many merchant points where mobile money is accepted, reducing the need to take cash out to make some payments.”
In its quest to maintain a sound financial system, foster financial inclusion and innovation, protect the safety, security and stability of the financial sector, the Bank of Ghana redefined the categories and permissible activities for the financial technology companies with PSP Enhanced license holders allowed only to perform aggregation of merchant services, processing services, provision of hardware and software, printing and personalization of EMV Cards, to terminate inward international remittances services, merchant acquiring, POS deployment and payment aggregation.
