The Bank of Ghana (BoG) authorized an increase in the daily and monthly transaction limits as well as the maximum wallet balances, which MTN MoMo has put into effect. The increased wallet transaction limit will foster more smooth transition to a cash-lite society, more efficient payments, and a rise in digital payments.
Customers who previously had Daily Transaction Limits of GHC 1,000, GHC 5,000, and GHC 10,000 now have limits of GHC 2,000, GHC 10,000, and GHC 15,000, respectively. Additionally, the GHC2,000, GHC15,000, and GHC30,000 account balance restrictions have been raised to GHC3,000, GHC30,000, and GHC50,000, respectively. In addition to these increases, clients with Medium and Enhanced KYC have unlimited monthly transaction limits, while those with Minimum KYC have a maximum of GHC 6,000.
