The Enhanced Payment Services Provider Licence allows DreamOval to aggregate merchant services, process financial services; print and personalise EMV Cards; process inward International remittances; acquire merchants; deploy POS systems and aggregate Payments.
DreamOval prides itself on the increased security it provides to customers, clients and partners, as well as its strong internal processes which meet international standards. The licence moves the technology company to the forefront of leading fintechs in Ghana and Africa.
CEO of DreamOval Claud Kweku Hutchful said: “Being licenced by the Bank of Ghana means a lot to the growth of our industry, and opens doors to increased security and confidence in digital payments systems. We are very proud that our team has attained one of the highest levels of recognition.
“We believe that Ghana is fast becoming a hub for fintech in Africa, and we are glad to play a major role in the export of financial technology to other parts of Africa and the world. Financial regulation as we know it is proof of confidence from both regulators and clients.”
