The ACDT advocates for the Ghana Card to function as an ATM card, enhancing financial inclusion and convenience in Ghana. It emphasizes the need for linking the card to bank accounts, security enhancements, and public education to facilitate this integration.
The Africa Centre for Digital Transformation (ACDT) has called on the National Identification Authority (NIA), Bank of Ghana (BoG), and financial institutions to enable the Ghana Card to serve as an ATM card. The ACDT commended the digital identity initiatives by NIA and urged stakeholders to work together toward integrating the Ghana Card with financial systems.
The Ghana Card is a national identification system aimed at improving digital identity in Ghana. Its potential to function as an ATM card could significantly enhance financial inclusion and security, making financial transactions easier for Ghanaians. The integration has been discussed previously but requires collaboration among various stakeholders to implement successfully.
The Ghana Card can potentially revolutionize financial access in Ghana if successfully integrated into banking systems. ACDT’s recommendations include linking bank accounts to the Ghana Card and enhancing security through biometric authentication. Public education on the usage and benefits of this system is crucial for successful implementation.
