The bank of Ghana has issued a directive to all banks in the country to allow non- resident Ghanaians who have not yet Registered or do no have access to their national ID cards to use their Passport for banking transactions
This directive comes a few days after banks started demanding the Ghana card as the sole ID for banking transactions as earlier directed by the bank of Ghana according to the National Identity Register Regulations 2012, ( L.I 2111)
In this regard customers of banks were asked to visit their banks to link their Ghana cards to their bank accounts
In a supervisory guidance note on the use of the Ghana card the bank of Ghana asked all banks to allow all customers who have not linked their cards yet to make deposits
Also members of the diplomatic corps are to be allowed to use their foreign passport as mean of identification for banking transactions.
