Large corporate organisations and public sector institutions can receive instant payment electronically if they sign onto the e-bills pay system introduced by Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement System (GhIPSS). This should address payment challenges and improve efficiency at these organisations.
The use of e-bills pay, an electronic payment system that enables large corporate institutions to receive payment via the internet or mobile applications, can reduce the human interface and help bring down corruption at public institutions. E-bills pay is one of the latest initiatives by Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems (GhIPSS), the national payment infrastructure provider.

“BEIGE besides Banking, does Pensions, Investments, Insurance, and we also have a private equity wing that is investing actively in small sized companies in the country. Our portfolio has increased more than six fold in the past three or four years.”
“We have put a hold on the project and construction financing. That is big money and it takes a longer period of time to recoup the investment. Since last year, we have not done any project financing. The area we address now is asset acquisition. We are focusing on executive auto financing. It is in the same auto industry, but we are focusing more on financing for the corporate leaders and corporate bosses.”
“When you look at our sector, we are one of the leaders, which really confirms our vision. We want to be a very good financial institution that is among the best at addressing the financial needs of people.”
