The Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems (GhIPSS) has increased access to e-zwich services by increasing the number of e-zwich agents by about 100 to over 325 agents.<\/p>\n
This is to allow \u00a0GhIPSS continue to improve electronic payment system through a biometric payment service.<\/p>\n
According to GhIPSS, it has trained more agents expected to offer a variety of e-zwich services including deposits, cashback (withdrawals) and transfers of funds from one card to another.<\/p>\n
The agents who \u00a0are located in the Greater Accra, Western and Central Regions will operate in other regional capitals.<\/p>\n
The Chief Executive of GhIPSS Archie Hesse explained that the agents would complement the services of the banks.<\/p>\n
GhIPSS decided in recent times to allow small enterprises in various localities to also offer the e-zwich services after demand increased.<\/p>\n
Before then, financial institutions such as\u00a0 banks and a Savings and Loans as well as Rural and Community banks\u00a0 provided the biometric payment.<\/p>\n
Mr. Hesse stated that a number of banks in the country are already \u00a0reconfiguring their ATMs to be e-zwich compliant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you visit some ATMs, you will see fingerprint readers, these ATMs are either already accepting e-zwich card or will soon accept the cards,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He indicated that every effort was being made to make the service widely available as part of the general plan to promote the cash-lite agenda.<\/p>\n
