Providing access to remittance service
Speaking on the motive behind the partnership, Managing Director of CBG, Daniel Wilson Addo said the decision to offer MoneyGram services is a key initiative to increase access to remittance services for CBG bank customers and the general public.

CBG as a full MoneyGram partner agent will ensure both customers and the general public receive their ‘AbrokyireSika’ (funds from Abroad) in a smart way – be it payment for a child in school, medical payment, or business purchases across the world”.
