The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has identified 20 mobile loan applications operating without the required licence or authorisation to provide digital credit services in Ghana.

The central bank said the identified applications are operating in breach of the Directive for Digital Credit Service Providers in Ghana, issued in September 2025.

The applications are Agile Loan, AmanaPay, CashWay, Foutou Credit, HastyCredit, InsCash, KudiNow, LendAura, Lever Credit, LoanGlide, NovaCedi, Palm Loan, PocketLoan, Rite Credit, SikaCare, SikaNow, Susu Loan, Taploan Up, Temivo Cedi and Zatuloan.

According to the BoG, the operations of the identified providers involve violations of customer data privacy, consumer protection requirements and other regulatory standards.

Members of the public who become aware of the activities of unlicensed digital credit providers have been encouraged to report them to the BoG.
