Taptap Send, a prominent global fintech company, has officially resumed its money transfer services in Ghana following a brief hiatus.

This announcement marks a significant milestone for Ghanaians in the diaspora who rely on the platform for secure and affordable remittance services. The resumption comes after the Bank of Ghana lifted a temporary suspension related to the company’s newly launched wallet product.

Taptap Send’s services faced a month-long suspension as directed by the Bank of Ghana, citing compliance issues surrounding its wallet product. The suspension, though disruptive, underscored the regulator’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of financial transactions within Ghana’s growing fintech landscape.

On December 4, 2024, ahead of the expected timeline, the Bank of Ghana granted the company clearance to resume operations. This decision was welcomed by Taptap Send and its extensive user base, particularly members of the Ghanaian diaspora across the UK, Europe, Canada, the United States, and the UAE.

Meanwhile, Darryl Mawutor Abraham, Head of Taptap Send Africa, expressed his gratitude to customers.

“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. 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.”
