ZEEPAY, a fast-growing FinTech and mobile money company, has opened its flagship branch at Kasoa in the Central Region to primary facilitate remittance transaction within that community.
The company said in a statement that Kasoa is currently one of the fastest growing cities in Accra and West Africa, adding that due to the high number of returnees, and the high rate of remittance receivers living there, Kasoa is presently considered as a “remittance epi center, thus, justifying Zeepay’s decision to set up its first branch at Kasoa”.
Zeepay Mobile Money is the fastest growing Remittance to Mobile Money wallet provider in Ghana. Initially started out as a FinTech 6 years ago. Until it was recently licensed by Bank of Ghana to operate as a Mobile Money.
Managing Director Zeepay, Andrew Takyi-Appiah, said “Over the last 2 years we have seen over 200,000 remittance transactions go into the Kasoa municipality and it environs annually, adding that, “this is one of the major influencing factors that drove us to set up in the area.”
He said the strategy of Zeepay Mobile Money remains the same as their founding principles – which is to help reduce the cost of remittance both on the send and receive side.
“We believe we have achieved this today by making it possible to pay international money transfer directly into Zeepay Mobile Money,” he added.
