The Central Bank emphasized that these entities’ activities not only contravene customer data and privacy laws but also fail to meet consumer protection requirements and standards. This has negative implications for the well-being and integrity of their customers.
In a statement, the Bank of Ghana urged the general public to refer to its website for a list of licensed institutions before engaging in any transactions with an organization.
