The Bank of Ghana has admitted six companies into its Regulatory Sandbox for a one-year period as part of efforts to support innovation in the financial sector while safeguarding market integrity.
The central bank said the decision forms part of its commitment to building an enabling regulatory environment that allows emerging financial technologies to be tested under controlled conditions.
The selected entities are Transika Ltd., One Africa Securities Ltd., Mansu Technologies Ltd., Payafrione Gh Ltd, Akuna Wallet Ltd. and Afrix Paycoin Ltd.
According to the Bank of Ghana, the companies will assist in validating proposed regulatory frameworks around the exchange, custody, administration and issuance of virtual assets, an area that continues to attract growing interest within Ghana’s financial ecosystem.
The Regulatory Sandbox allows fintechs and other financial service providers to pilot innovative products and services under the supervision of the central bank, enabling regulators to better understand emerging risks while supporting responsible innovation.
The central bank cautioned that participation in the sandbox is subject to strict performance and compliance requirements, noting that it reserves the right to withdraw approval of any entity at any time for non-performance or failure to comply with applicable regulations.
The Bank of Ghana said enquiries regarding the Regulatory Sandbox and related fintech initiatives could be directed to the FinTech and Innovation Office at the central bank.
The announcement was issued by the Communications Department of the Bank of Ghana on January 22, 2026.
