The New Bank Of Ghana Corporate Governance Rules Signals a Call to Maturity for Fintech’s by the Regulator(..Is this an Africa Trend ?)
In June 2025, the Bank of Ghana released its Corporate Governance Guidelines for Payment Service Providers. At first glance, it might seem like just another compliance update—but read between the lines, and you’ll see something deeper.
This is a call to leadership.
These guidelines don’t merely set minimum standards. They signal the central bank’s expectation that Ghana’s digital finance sector is no longer in its experimental phase. It is systemically important. And with that importance comes accountability, transparency, and—most importantly—governance maturity.
Ghana is not alone. Across Africa, fintech is growing up—and regulators are making it clear: scale must now be matched with structure.
