A Turning Point for Ghana’s Payments Industry: Why Clara’s Appointment at GHiPSS is Exactly What the Future Demands
Ghana’s digital payments landscape is on the cusp of significant evolution. As global fintech innovations accelerate and digital infrastructure expands, the industry needs leadership equipped with both a deep understanding of the local market and a global perspective, coupled with a daring vision for change. Clara’s appointment as CEO of GHiPSS (Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems) perfectly embodies the kind of progressive leadership that the sector critically requires right now.
Unleashing the Latent Power of National Payment Systems
GHiPSS manages the fundamental infrastructure of Ghana’s payment ecosystem, including systems like e-zwich and gh-link. Although these platforms were designed to promote financial inclusion and interoperability, their true capabilities have yet to be fully realized. E-zwich, for example, was a pioneer in biometric banking in Africa, yet it has faced challenges in achieving widespread adoption. Gh-link, the domestic EMV card scheme, is still working to gain traction against international competitors. Clara’s expertise is expected to provide the needed boost.
In conclusion, Clara’s arrival at GHiPSS signifies a pivotal moment for Ghana’s payment sector. The industry anticipates that her leadership will unlock the dormant potential within existing national payment systems, fostering greater financial inclusion and driving innovation in the Ghanaian fintech ecosystem.
