The New PaySwitch: A Modern Payment Gateway Serving Ghana’s Biggest Banks and Retail Chains

In this section of the interview, Aaron Demenu, CEO of PaySwitch Ghana, offers an overview of the company’s evolution and the breadth of its operations. He explains that PaySwitch began by providing POS solutions to banks but has since expanded to deliver both POS and ATM acquiring services to three of Ghana’s largest financial institutions. Over the past few years, the company has pivoted strategically to offer API-driven payment solutions, enabling merchants to process mobile money and card transactions directly, while also supporting in-country remittances and instant transfers.

Demenu highlights that PaySwitch Ghana now serves a wide range of clients beyond banks, including retail chains, government institutions, NGOs, and community groups, reflecting the company’s commitment to driving digital payments and financial inclusion across multiple sectors. Through its plug-and-play APIs, PaySwitch has created a unified platform that allows for easy onboarding, merchant acquisition, and cross-sector payment integration. This seamless system empowers businesses of all sizes, from large corporations to SMEs, by simplifying payment collections, enhancing digital transformation, and supporting growth through technology.
