Explaining the reasons behind the increase, the Chief Executive Officer of GhIPSS, Mr. Archie Hesse stated that government’s adoption of the platform for paying some public sector workers contributed to the results.

He pointed out that most of the customers of the product expressed satisfaction with the ease of withdrawing money on the platform.

“The growth can be attributed to increased usage of e-zwich cards for receipt of funds. You recall our collaboration with the LEAP programme to disburse funds to some underprivileged people as well as the payment of allowances for National Service personnel using the E-zwich,” he said.

Touching on other areas that saw significant improvement,

Mr. Hesse stated that the E-zwich saw a substantial growth in remittances on the platform.
