MoneyGram, a leading global money transfer service in Ghana, has been presented with the Mobex Africa Innovation in Money Transfer Award for its innovation in money transfer.
The award acknowledges MoneyGram’s continuous innovation in enabling remittances directly to bank accounts and mobile wallets, which were both introduced this year.
MoneyGram was selected from a competitive nominee pool including major players like GHIPSS, Expresspay, Ecobank, Barclays Bank & Alexpay.
“Remittances are key to the Ghanaian economy, and MoneyGram is a leader in this market,” said Patrick Appiah, MoneyGram’s Regional Head of Anglophone West Africa.
“Over the past year, we have invested heavily in this market and now are proud to offer multi-channel convenience to our receivers in Ghana. From Paga to Accra, or Elubo to Aflao, customers can receive money from loved ones abroad either in any of our 2,000 partner locations with banks in Ghana or direct into their bank account or mobile wallet.”
The Mobex Innovation Awards is organized by Coasters Company to honour excellence, innovation and creativity of companies and individuals to help transform lives through the use of technology.
Coasters Company also organizes the annual Mobex Africa ICT & Technology Expo in Ghana and Liberia.
