To boost local transactions and to offer more convenience for its customers, Fidelity Bank Ghana has commenced the issuance of Gh-link cards.
The Gh-link EMV Card is Ghana’s domestic card payment scheme that was launched in 2012 by the Ghana Interbank Payment & Settlement System (GhIPSS) Limited. The card scheme works on the Gh-link platform – a system which interconnects all banks and financial institutions in Ghana and enables accredited financial institutions to issue EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) white label cards that are accepted nationwide across ATM and POS terminals.
The card supports ATM cash withdrawals, ATM PIN changes, ATM balance enquiries,and purchase transactions on POS devices and on online platforms. Customers who use the card are assured of affordability and protection of their transaction data.
Speaking on this initiative, Nana Esi Idun-Arkhurst, Divisional Director – Retail Banking of Fidelity Bank Ghana, stated that Fidelity Bank is devoted to meeting the growing needs of customers.
“The introduction of the Gh-link card is a perfect blend of convenience and affordability for our cherished customers. As a bank at the forefront of digitalisation in the banking sector, we believe that the issuance of the Gh-link card is an opportunity to further expand our digital footprint and promote financial inclusion,” she said.
