A statement from the central bank and signed by its Secretary, Caroline Otoo said the company is \u201ccarrying on the business of microfinance without a licence from the Bank of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement added that \u201canyone who does business with Agro Development Fund Services Limited, does so at their own risk.\u201d<\/p>\n
The caution follows the recent debacle involving DKM Microfinance Company which was also based largely in the Brong Ahafo region.<\/p>\n
Affected customers are still being paid their locked up investments which are estimated to be running into millions of cedis.<\/p>\n
The unfortunate development follows the halt of the company\u2019s operations in 2015 for flouting some rules guiding legal operations in the financial sector.<\/p>\n
