Accra: On Thursday, 10th May, 2018 , the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia launched the first Mobile Money Interoperability System in Ghana.

“In 2017 , I challenged the Bank of Ghana, GhIPPS, the Telcos and Financial Institutions in Ghana to ensure that mobile money platforms were Interoperable. It has been made possible by hard working Ghanaians” he recounted.

In giving his remarks on this first ever interoperability system in Ghana, the vice president pronounced that:

• From today, customers will be able to move freely monies from mobile money to mobile money accounts across different networks. This means that customers who have mobile money accounts with say, MTN can easily transfer or receive money from other netwoks such as Airtel-Tigo or Vodafone, etc.
