Tranzfar, a financial technology company based in the United Kingdom, has launched its Freedom Bank Account in Ghana.
The new product provides users with a functional digital bank account, which can receive and send money instantly, set up standing orders and direct debits, and perform other bank transactions.
The Account, the first in Africa, will enable the Ghanaian users to receive and send money internationally to other African countries, Asia, America and other parts of the globe.
The digital banking service offers multi-currency account in pounds, dollars, and euros and allows Ghanaians, who are non-UK residents to own a bank account in the UK.
Dr Stephen Amoah, Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, commended Tranzfar for conceptualising and bringing to fruition the Freedom Bank Account.
Dr Stephen Amoah emphasised that the product would boost the Ghanaian economy as it would promote entrepreneurship, and enhance trade and industry. “In an era where global connectivity and financial inclusivity are paramount, the introduction of this innovative digital banking platform aligns perfectly with our nation’s aspiration for growth and development,” Dr Amoah said.
The Deputy minister noted that the Tranzfar would also deepen the existing relationship between Ghana and the United Kingdom. He assured Tranzfar of the support of the Ministry and the government to ensure that the product operated efficiently, effectively, and sustainably.
Freedom Bank Account Targets Everyone
