Andrew Takyi-Appiah, Managing Director mentioned “Since 2014 when we embarked on this journey, we have never stopped to innovate- from being the first to introduce Tap & Pay services to mobile money, PoS acquiring for mobile money wallets and digital termination of remittances to mobile wallets. We are deeply humbled and grateful to the Bank of Ghana for this approval. Especially to the Leadership of Bank of Ghana. We will like to express our gratitude to our Shareholders Kwame Achampong-Kyei, Zoe Phillips, Paa Kwasi Yankey and Aaron Sackey for all their relentless support and our partners, the likes of MoneyGram, Small World, Thunes, RIA, DMA Consulting, Barclays Bank, GTBank, Access Bank, ADB (Bank), FAB (Bank), Bank of Africa and all our Board members; including John Gely and Patrick of MoneyGram, Natasha and Nick Day of Small World and Robert Kotei of RIA and AB, Sandra Yao and Djibril and others for believing in us.”
