BoG to establish new Cash Centres in Ho and Tamale
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) is planning to establish new Cash Centres at its Ho and Tamale Regional Offices as part of efforts to improve access to currency services and strengthen cash management across the country.
The initiative is expected to bring currency services closer to businesses, financial institutions and the public, while supporting the efficient distribution and management of banknotes.
Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, announced this at the launch of the Ghana Cedi Heritage Series Notes at Bank Square in Accra on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
He said the planned centres form part of the Bank's broader strategy to modernise its currency operations and strengthen the infrastructure supporting the management of physical cash.
"To bring currency services closer to the people, the Bank plans to establish new Cash Centres at its Ho and Tamale Regional Offices," he stated.
The planned facilities will complement the Bank's existing Currency Processing Centres, which use advanced banknote processing systems to sort and authenticate notes and remove unfit ones from circulation.
"Our Currency Processing Centres use advanced banknote processing systems to sort, authenticate, and remove unfit notes from circulation, ensuring that the notes in the hands of the public are clean and genuine," Dr Asiama said.
The Governor explained that the Bank was also strengthening its technological capacity through the development of the Enterprise Currency Operations Management Software (ECOMS), an in-house system designed to connect the central bank with commercial banks in managing currency operations.
The measures form part of efforts to ensure that physical cash remains accessible, dependable and efficiently managed, even as Ghana continues to expand digital payment systems.
