The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has released a list of foreign exchange (FX) brokers and cross-border payments, and financial services providers authorised to operate on the Ghana Interbank FX market in 2026.
In a notice issued by the central bank, BoG said the approval is in line with Section 3.13.1 of the Ghana Interbank Forex Market Conduct rules, which stipulates that “Local and International FX Brokers who want to operate in Ghana’s forex market are required to obtain prior approval from the Bank of Ghana at the beginning of every calendar year.”
The authorisation takes effect from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026.
The central bank approved 12 FX brokers to operate on the interbank FX market. These are IC Securities, SIC Brokers, Serengeti Limited, Sarpong Capital, Terika Financial Services Limited, Savvy Africa, GFX Brokers, Regulus, MB&CO Capital Limited, ICAP, Obsidian Achernar, and TAW Impact Capital.
In addition, the Bank of Ghana authorised three firms, Crown Agents Bank, CSL Capital, and StoneX Financial Limited, to operate as Cross-Border Payments and Financial Services Providers on the interbank FX market.
The Bank of Ghana cautioned that approval is conditional and may be withdrawn in cases of poor performance or regulatory breaches.
“The Bank of Ghana reserves the right to delist any authorised FX Broker and Cross-Border Payments and Financial Services Providers for non-performance and/or non-compliance with the Foreign Exchange Act 2006 (Act 723), the Interbank FX Market Conduct rules, and the post authorisation guidelines,” the notice said.
