Ghana’s Mobile Money Boom: GH¢3.6 Trillion in Transactions in Just 10 Months

Ghana’s mobile money scene is on fire! From January to October 2025, the total value of transactions soared to a massive GH¢3.6 trillion, according to the latest data from the Bank of Ghana.

This info comes straight from the central bank’s Economic and Financial Data update, released after last week’s Monetary Policy Committee meeting. It covers all transactions reported by telecom operators during those 10 months.

Monthly Growth Keeps Climbing

The numbers show steady gains:

September: GH¢406 billion

October: GH¢436 billion (a nice jump!)

How It Stacks Up Year After Year

First 10 months of 2024: GH¢2.368 trillion

Same period in 2023: GH¢1.367 trillion

First 8 months of 2024 alone: GH¢1.775 trillion

That’s a huge leap for 2025 – proof that mobile money is becoming a daily essential for Ghanaians.

What’s Driving the Surge?

Experts point to a few key factors:

More people ditching cash for quick mobile payments.

The Bank of Ghana and banks pushing hard for a cashless society.

Businesses, shops, and institutions now widely accepting mobile money.

All this is fueling the explosive growth in transaction values.

Key Stats at a Glance (as of October 2025)

Registered accounts: 79.1 million

Active users: 25.3 million

Agents nationwide: About 949,000

Total transactions: 893 million
