Ghana switches on national instant QR mobile payments platform

The Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems (GhIPSS) has switched on a QR code-based mobile payments platform that instantly transfers funds from a consumer’s mobile wallet or bank account to the merchant’s.

Ghana’s universal QR code payment solution (GhQR) allows customers to make instant payments for goods and services from different funding sources (mobile wallets, cards, bank accounts) by scanning a QR code on a smartphone.
