The Bank of Ghana has with immediate effect revoked the licences of twenty-three (23) insolvent savings and loans companies and finance house companies.
The Central Bank in a statement on Friday said the revocation of the licences of these institutions has become necessary because they are insolvent even after a reasonable period within which the Bank of Ghana has engaged with them in the hope that they would be recapitalized by their shareholders to return them to solvency.
Social media users have been reacting to the latest revocation of licences of insolvent savings and loans companies and finance house companies.

If a bank is operating without proper licence (s), then the the Bank Governor of the Bank of Ghana and the Finance Minister should be called to book. The lay man's money can easily go astray under such circumstance.

I thought of summarising but it seems better to read the Bank of Ghana (BOG) official position, as reproduced on various media platforms (also on BOG website). In sum, most forex dealings must be done through forex a/c at our Banks.https://t.co/sNSuMgRFAx https://t.co/nE9WmzH4vX
