The Bank of Ghana has cautioned persons in Ghana about taking loans from some 19 financial institutions that are unlicensed.
The Central Bank issued a statement on August 22, 2022, that, “Bank of Ghana has observed that a number of unlicensed entities are engaged in the provision of loans to the Ghanaian public, in contravention of the Banks and Specialised Deposit-Taking Institutions Act, 2016 (Act 930). These illegal entities mostly deploy the use of mobile applications and social media in their activities.”
In the report by Bank of Ghana, all the activities of these unlicensed institutions amount to non-adherence to consumer protection requirements and abuse of customer data and privacy laws.
