Fintech is an abbreviation for Financial Technology. It refers to using technology to improve and automate traditional financial services and processes.

Some of these services include online banking, mobile payments, peer-to-peer lending, digital wallets and financial management tools.

Ghana has, over the past few years, experienced the trend of fast-rising fintech companies in and outside Ghana. It is estimated that there are over 70 fintech companies in Ghana.

It is interesting to note that fintech companies in Ghana go through a series of rigorous screenings from the Bank of Ghana (the regulating authority) before they are accorded their licenses to operate.

In addition, the fintech company in question needs to have iron-clad IT security systems and
policies, strong governance structures, and strict risk management policies vetted by the
Fintech and Innovations Office at the Bank of Ghana (BOG).

These are exciting times for the fintech industry in Ghana as the strict regulation of this industry will put fintech companies on their toes and hence pave the way for the most secure and innovative fintech companies to lead the way.

Here are the top 10 fintech companies in Ghana and what makes each unique:

1. MTN Mobile Money – Momo

MTN Mobile Money (popularly called MTN Momo) is an offshoot of MTN, one of Ghana’s largest telecoms networks, is one of Ghana’s foremost fintech platforms, which provides consumers and businesses with a bouquet of digital financial services. Its features include access to payments, e-commerce, insurance, lending, and remittance services. The MTN Momo is the most widely used mobile payment app in Ghana, controlling about 89.3% of the mobile financial services (MFS) revenue in Ghana.

2. Zeepay – trend setter
Zeepay, one of Ghana’s fast-rising fintech companies, specializes in mobile money interoperability and international remittance. Zeepay is the first fintech company in Ghana to be issued with a Dedicated Electronic Money Issuer license by the Bank of Ghana (BOG)- Ghana’s apex financial regulatory institution. Zeepay has been greatly instrumental in facilitating cross-network money transfers and fostering financial
connectivity in Ghana and across parts of Africa. Zeepay is touted as the second largest fintech app in terms of MFS revenue, which they did by unseating Vodafone Cash to claim the second position, thereby pushing Vodafone Cash downwards in rank.

3. Hubtel – the fintech with e-commerce services

Hubtel remains one of Ghana’s most versatile fintech companies. It provides mobile payment, bulk SMS, and e-commerce solutions. Their POS platform allows businesses to accept mobile money, cards, and QR codes. Hubtel empowers numerous small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana by digitizing their payment processes.

4. Expresspay – One of Ghana’s premier Fintechs

Expresspay is one of Ghana’s prominent fintech companies that provides electronic payment solutions. Their platform allows utility payments, internet subscriptions, and airtime top-ups. Expresspay combines a user-friendly interface and an extensive agent network, making it a popular option for Ghanaians and expats seeking efficient payment solutions.

Finance Plus is a custom software building company with experts who assist credit unions, rural banks, and microfinance institutions in growing. Finance Plus assists these financial entities with specialized software that enables them to reach out and provide financial services to their teeming number of customers.

7. Ghanapay – the giant in the room

Ghanapay is a payment app rolled out by Ghana Interbank Payment Settlement Systems Limited (GhIPSS). GhIPSS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of Ghana mandated to implement and manage interoperable payment system infrastructures for banks and nonbank financial institutions in Ghana.

It is a mobile money service provided for universal banks, rural banks and savings and loans companies. It is like any mobile money service in Ghana, but with additional banking services designed for client’s
financial freedom. Ghanapay is touted as being the first bank-wide solution in Ghana providing the opportunity for users to have access to banking services in addition to existing mobile money services. Ghanapay gives customers the opportunity to have a direct relationship with all of the banks and non-bank financial institutions in Ghana, as well as the ARB Apex bank.

8. Chango – towards crowdfunding

Chango is a crowdfunding platform rolled out by IT Consortium (ITC) one of Ghana’s largest B2B fintech companies. Chango is a mobile application made up of both private and public groups which brings people together based on agreed terms and conditions to raise funds. The Chango app is to donate to a cause or project by creating groups and raising funds. IT Consortium ITC, is establishing itself as one of Africa’s leading financial services technology solutions providers.

9. Slydepay – one of the many firsts from Banks

Slydepay was created by Dreamoval Limited and is powered by Stanbic Bank Ghana. Slydepay (formerly iWallet) is an all-in-one mobile application making mobile payments, airtime and internet data purchase easy in Ghana. It is essentially a mobile wallet in Ghana that allows customers to pay bills, top up mobile phones, make money transfers and pay in-store via QR codes as well as online via emails. One feature that puts slydepay ahead of some of the fintech apps in Ghana is its option that allows customers to make payments at retails shops via the app.

10. Payswitch – enabling financial inclusion for SMEs

Payswitch is one of the few fintech companies that allows businesses to accept payments via multiple channels, such as mobile money, cards (VISA and Mastercard), and other online platforms. Payswitch combines cards management and issuing, digital banking, automated fare collections, eCommerce, agency banking and a host of other tailor-made solutions to suit the needs of the Ghanaian middle class and business community.

Payswitch prides itself as an enabler for a wide spectrum of users from startups to large organizations. A unique feature of payswitch is that it caters to the circulation of money and value between individuals (C2Cs), individuals and organizations (C2Bs), organizations and individuals (B2Cs) and between organizations (B2Bs).

Fintechs in Ghana have come to stay as they make payments and financial transactions easier and more convenient for Ghana’s residents. However, the fintechs who will lead are those who can position more financial solutions and services in their apps at the disposal of their customers as well as anticipate solutions to clients’ requests and needs.

Getting a fintech license in Ghana can be challenging, however, it can also be rewarding. Fintechs will be able to tap into the large market opportunity and the high demand for digital financial services.
