Scandal Unveiled: Bank of Ghana Declares War on Rogue Payment Platforms! 🚨

by

The Bank of Ghana, in that stately, unsmiling way peculiar to institutions with high ceilings and a great many ledgers, has issued a most somber notice—a veritable neigh from on high. Imagine, dear reader, the Bank, peering over its silver spectacles at the bustling market below, waving its cane at two miscreant digital payment platforms: Yellow Card affiliate Yellowpay, and the even more enigmatic Hanypay.

On the eleventh day of June, with the benevolence and seriousness only a central bank could summon, the BoG announced—if not quite with a trumpet, then at least a stern cough—that both Yellowpay and Hanypay had begun to dally in financial affairs without so much as a by-your-leave formality as required by Ghanaian law. Licensing, dear reader! Approval! These grand essentials of proper financial existence, waved off with the nonchalance of an errant suitor.

Of Hanypay, the BoG was unflinching: “Neither licensed nor authorized,” they pronounced, as if ending the matter with a thump of judicial finality (and possibly some tea spilled backstage). The message is as clear as the Ghanaian sky at noon: All honest stakeholders, and even the slightly less honest ones, are to immediately wash their hands of these rogue entities. Cease and desist, they say! (Which is regulatory speak for, “Hey you lot, cut it out!” 😏)

In sum: The Bank of Ghana, always vigilant—if not always brisk—has flashed its badge to some digital upstarts. Take note, or risk an encounter with a financial bureaucracy so formidable it might make even Dostoevsky weep—or at least check his mobile wallet balance.
