Sending money to Ghana

In Ghana, mobile money — led by MTN Mobile Money — is the most popular way to receive transfers, with bank deposits to cedi (GHS) accounts also widely available.

Mobile-wallet payouts typically settle in minutes, while bank deposits can take longer depending on the receiving bank.

Most of what you pay sending to Ghana is the exchange-rate markup baked into the rate, not the upfront fee. RemitBeat benchmarks every provider against the mid-market rate and ranks them by the amount that actually arrives in GHS, so you see the genuinely cheapest option rather than the flashiest headline fee.
