The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has highlighted that the rapidly changing global financial environment and the increased use of digital platforms have heightened risks within the banking sector, placing greater emphasis on the need to combat financial fraud.

The central bank noted that fraudsters are constantly advancing their methods and exploiting weaknesses in the financial system to deceive unsuspecting customers.

This evolving threat calls for a proactive and comprehensive strategy to effectively tackle fraud in the banking industry.

As part of its regulatory and supervisory mandate over banks, Savings and Deposit-Taking Institutions (SDIs), and Payment Service Providers (PSPs), the BoG said it regularly monitors fraud patterns and emerging trends across the financial ecosystem.

To fulfill this mandate, the Bank of Ghana stated that it gathers data on both attempted and successful fraud cases from regulated institutions and publishes annual fraud reports based on its findings.

“It is therefore mandatory for all banks, SDIs and PSPs to report fraud cases to the BoG as and when it happen and submit a monthly ‘Nil return’ when no fraud is recorded. These reports provide an insight on fraudsters’ modus operandi, fraud typologies and trends while highlighting measures to mitigate fraud activities,” the BoG said in a report.

Adding that, the negative impact of fraud in the banking sector is not limited to financial losses but also the significant reputational risks posed to financial institutions and loss of public trust in the banking sector.

“This reinforces the need for financial institutions to enhance internal controls, employee training and customer financial literacy schemes. The BOG remains committed to enhancing collaboration, engaging stakeholders and implementing regulatory measures to mitigate risks associated with fraud and fraudulent activities to safeguard financial stability in Ghana”.

The Bank of Ghana report revealed that banks recorded a total of 716 fraud cases in 2024, marking a 26% decrease from the 969 cases reported in 2023.

This decline, according to the report, is largely credited to strengthened internal controls across the banking sector.
