Send money to Ghana easily with Profee. Enjoy fast, secure transfers, great exchange rates, and low fees — all from your phone.

Profee.com offers a quick, no-fee way to send money online to Ghana for EU and UK-based expats. With competitive exchange rates and strict security standards, it simplifies how to send money to Ghana from abroad.

Over a quarter of a million Ghanaians live in the UK alone, and Ghana receives several billion dollars in remittances each year. Millions of families rely on fast, reliable transfers to cover essentials like food, school fees, and medical care.

Other ways to send money to Ghana

Expats often ask how to send money to Ghana — and which method gives the best value. They have several remittance options, but each has drawbacks. Bank transfers are secure, but they often charge high fees and unfavourable rates, making transfers slow and expensive.

Cryptocurrency can look attractive for its low fees and borderless transfers, but volatile exchange rates, lack of knowledge, and limited local adoption in Ghana make it risky for everyday use.

Online money transfers to Ghana via modern money transfer apps like Profee have become popular: they show all costs upfront and deliver funds much faster.

The table below compares these approaches:

For UK/EU residents, these online money transfers to Ghana avoid many hassles. With Profee, you simply enter the amount, and the app converts and sends it at a transparent rate — no surprises, no hidden charges.

Why choose Profee for Ghana transfers

For many expats, Profee is the answer to the question ‘how to send money to Ghana reliably’. It lets customers send money online to Ghana with a bank card, account, Google/Apple Pay. As a fintech specialising in secure, regulated transfers, Profee has seen 137% year-on-year growth in 2024 and now serves over 800,000 customers. Profee was named Best International Money Transfer Solution 2024, reflecting its innovation and trustworthiness.

Here’s why more and more Ghanaians abroad are choosing Profee for their transfers:

Compared to traditional banks and most apps, Profee is widely seen as one of the most affordable money transfer options for Ghana. Transparent fees and live rate monitoring often give better value for customers.

“Ghana receives over $4.7 billion in remittances annually, and behind that figure are millions of households depending on this support for essentials like food, education, and healthcare. According to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the cost of remittances should not exceed 3%, but traditional bank wires often charge two to three times more. At Profee, we’re changing that. By offering low-cost, instant transfers with no hidden fees, we help reduce the total cost of sending money — and ensure more cedis end up where they matter most: with Ghanaian families.” — Dmitry Gorokh, Head of Brand & Marketing Communications at Profee.

If you are looking for a stable and convenient app for online betting in Ghana, Paripesa is one option that
is definitely worth considering. This service is already well known in the local market, and for good
reason: it combines simplicity, functionality, and good adaptation to the needs of players in the region.

difficulties.

Interface and ease of use: everything in its place

Paripesa does not complicate interaction. The interface is logical and understandable, with the main functions accessible from the home screen — no need to waste time searching. All key sections — sports betting, casino, live games — are just a click or two away.

From a technical point of view, the app works quickly. Even on mid-range smartphones, there are no delays or long loading times. This is important, especially if you use mobile internet, which is not always stable in some regions of Ghana. At the same time, live games can slow down a little with a weak connection — but this is more a question of the internet than the app itself.

The app offers the following sections:

• Sports betting: soccer, basketball, tennis, boxing, MMA, and e-sports. There are both pre-match and live bets.
• Casino: online slots, classic games such as roulette and blackjack, as well as live versions with live dealers.
• Virtual sports: a fast format when real matches are unavailable.
• Promotions and bonuses: regular offers for newcomers and regular players, including cashback and free spins.

Paripesa supports payments in Ghanaian cedi, which is convenient. Popular payment systems are available, including MTN, AirtelTigo, and Vodafone Cash. Transfers are fast, with no unnecessary fees or complicated checks.

Why the app is popular among players from Ghana

Many apps on the market look attractive but disappear after the first few uses. Paripesa stays at the top because it provides the basics without complications and offers useful “goodies” for active users. Here’s why players in Ghana choose this app:

• Quick registration: no bureaucracy or excessive document verification.
• Clear bonuses: most of them can actually be used, not just “for advertising.”
• Adaptation to local conditions: both in terms of content and payment infrastructure.
• Traffic savings: the app works even in areas with poor coverage.
• Technical support: live chat within the app, no bots, and no half-hour waits.

Conclusion: who is Paripesa suitable for?

This app is suitable for those who value stability, quick access to bets, and a simple interface. It does not offer advanced settings or super rare games, but it covers the basic needs of most players. If you live in Ghana, are looking for a legal way to bet from your mobile, and want something practical at your fingertips, Paripesa will fully meet your expectations. 

The Presidential Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programmes, Mr. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, has expressed strong confidence in President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to restoring credibility and legitimacy to governance.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Wednesday, July 2, Mr. Goosie Tanoh highlighted the President’s achievements within his first 120 days in office, describing them as a clear signal of renewed purpose and dedication to national transformation.

“I think that the social contract, the 120-day contract, and the fact that he has achieved all those milestones show a new, renewed determination and purpose.

“And that sets the landscape for what is to come, and so, in that sense, yes, I think he has demonstrated clearly that he means business, he also means to promote, protect and expand business,” he noted.

Mr. Tanoh clarified that the 24-Hour Economy goes beyond extended working hours, explaining that it represents a broader transformation in how the state interacts with citizens, businesses, and institutions.

“One of the interesting things is that the reset [agenda] is also about the state and the way the state relates to the citizenry, relates to businesses and other institutions. Because without an efficient and friendly state, investors will run away, and it will also become a barrier and a bar to progress and development,” he stated.

He also pointed to the President’s anti-corruption drive, highlighting the newly introduced Code of Conduct for public officials as a demonstration of the administration’s resolve to enhance transparency and accountability.

“Some of the anti-corruption things he has done, such as the Code of Conduct, are to lead the way that this our dispensation we mean business and we will do it,” he added.

Mr. Tanoh’s remarks follow the launch of the government’s flagship 24-Hour Economy policy, which seeks to create jobs, boost productivity, and promote inclusive economic growth by encouraging round-the-clock operations in critical sectors including healthcare, transport, retail, and manufacturing.

Accra, Jul 3 (PTI): India and Ghana have elevated their ties to the level of comprehensive partnership, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirming that New Delhi is a co-traveller in the African nation’s development journey.

Modi made the remarks on Wednesday after holding wide-ranging talks with Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama.

In his media statement, Prime Minister Modi said both sides have set a target of doubling the two-way trade in the next five years and that India is not just a partner but a co-traveller in Ghana’s development journey.

The delegation-level meeting between the two leaders took place hours after Modi arrived in this capital city of the West African country on the first leg of his five-nation tour.

In a special gesture, the prime minister was received at the airport by President Mahama. It is the first prime ministerial visit from India to Ghana in three decades.

Following the Modi-Mahama talks, the two sides inked four pacts that will provide for cooperation in several areas including culture and traditional medicine.

“Today, the president and I have decided to elevate our bilateral partnership to a Comprehensive Partnership,” Modi said, adding, “India is not just a partner but a co-traveller in Ghana’s journey of nation-building.” The prime minister also highlighted the upswing in trade relations between the two countries.

“Indian companies have invested nearly two billion dollars in about 900 projects. Today, we have set a target to double our mutual trade in the next five years,” he said.

“In the field of FinTech, India is ready to share its experience of UPI digital payments with Ghana,” he noted.

The prime minister also said that Indian companies will cooperate in the exploration and mining of critical minerals.

The prime minister said both sides were unanimous that terrorism is the enemy of humanity and that it was decided to further strengthen mutual cooperation in countering the menace.

“We are unanimous that terrorism is the enemy of humanity. We thank Ghana for its cooperation in our fight against terrorism,” Modi said.

“In this context, we have decided to further strengthen mutual cooperation in counter-terrorism,” he said.

In the field of defence and security, we will move forward with the mantra of “security through solidarity”, he added.

India-Ghana cooperation will be enhanced in areas such as training of armed forces, maritime security, defence supply and cyber security, he added.

The prime minister said both sides expressed serious concerns over the conflicts in West Asia and Europe and called for finding solutions to the problems through dialogue and diplomacy.

“This is not the era of war; problems should be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy,” Modi said.

The two leaders also touched upon issues facing the Global South.

“We are both members of the Global South, and are fully committed to its priorities. We thank Ghana for its positive participation in the Voice of Global South Summit,” Modi said.

“It is a matter of pride for India that the African Union got permanent membership of the G20 under our G20 presidency,” he added.

Calling the talks with President Mahama “extremely fruitful”, Modi in an X post said, “We have elevated our ties to a Comprehensive Partnership, which will be beneficial for the people of our nations. We discussed ways to improve trade and economic linkages. Cooperation in FinTech, skill development, healthcare and other such sectors were also deliberated upon.” India and Ghana also see immense scope in working closely in areas such as critical minerals, defence, maritime security and energy, he said, adding that enhancing cultural linkages was also discussed.

In a post on X, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “Both leaders reaffirmed the warm and time-tested ties between India & Ghana, and discussed ways to expand cooperation in key areas…” “The leaders agreed to elevate the bilateral ties to a Comprehensive Partnership. They reiterated their commitment to democratic values, Global South solidarity, South-South cooperation, and a shared vision for sustainable development & global peace,” he added.

The bilateral relations between India and Ghana, one of the fastest-growing economies in West Africa, are marked by a robust trade and investment partnership.

India is among the top trading partners of Ghana and is the largest destination for Ghanaian exports, driven largely by India’s import of gold.

President John Mahama says Ghana is seeking to deepen its partnership with India in key areas including trade, agriculture, renewable energy, digital innovation, and youth empowerment.

Speaking during a joint press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, July 2, President Mahama said both countries had agreed on the urgency of expanding their collaboration across strategic sectors.

“We agreed on the urgency of deepening our collaboration in areas of shared strategic interest, particularly in agriculture, agribusiness and renewable energy, digital innovation, health and youth empowerment,” he said.

He commended India’s contribution to Ghana’s development through concessional loans, technical support and landmark infrastructure projects such as the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT, the Komenda Sugar Factory, the Elmina Fish Processing Plant and the Tema-Mpakadan railway line.

President Mahama further observed that India’s rapid economic growth presents opportunities for Ghana and the rest of Africa to integrate more competitively into global value chains, particularly through the African Continental Free Trade Area headquartered in Accra.

He also saluted the Indian business community in Ghana for their continued contribution to national development and described them as a vital bridge between both countries.

“As we mark this significant occasion, let us reaffirm our shared commitment to deepening a partnership founded on mutual respect, shared prosperity and the aspirations of our people,” Mahama added.

Accra, Jul 2 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Wednesday conferred with ‘The Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana’, the country’s national honour, for his “distinguished statesmanship and influential global leadership”.

Modi received the award from the Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama.

“Honoured to be conferred with ‘The Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana’,” the prime minister said in an X post.

In his acceptance speech, Modi said the award was a matter of great pride and honour for him.

“I humbly accept the award on behalf of the 140 crore Indians,” he said, dedicating it to the aspirations and bright future of the youth of India, its cultural traditions and diversity, and the historical ties between Ghana and India.

The award was conferred on the prime minister in recognition of his “distinguished statesmanship and influential global leadership,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a press release.

Thanking the people and government of Ghana for the special gesture, the prime minister noted that the “shared democratic values and traditions of the two countries would continue to nurture the partnership”.

He said the award “further deepens the friendship between the two countries and places new responsibility on him to embrace and advance bilateral ties.” Modi asserted his confidence that his “historic” state visit to Ghana would impart a new momentum to India-Ghana ties, according to the MEA.

Earlier, Modi held wide-ranging talks with Mahama, after which India and Ghana elevated their ties to the level of a comprehensive partnership.

Fuel prices reduce at the pump

Fuel prices have seen some adjustments as the first pricing window of July 2025.

Prices of petrol have reduced marginally, but prices of diesel have increased.

Market leader, GOIL, reduced the price of a litre of petrol from GH₵12.38 to GH₵12.07.

It is, however, selling diesel at GH₵13.20 from the old price of GH₵12.88.

Shell has increased the price of a litre of petrol to GH₵12.08 from GH₵11.98

It has increased the price of a litre of diesel from GH₵12.85 to GH₵13.25.

PETROSOL is selling a litre of fuel for GH₵11.98, while diesel is selling for GH₵13.98 per litre.

Industry players projected an increase in the prices of fuel at the pump due to the increase in global oil prices.

But, oil prices have seen a downward trend on the global market due to easing tensions in the Middle East.

The next pricing window is likely to witness a price hike due to the implementation of the GH₵1 Energy Sector Levy.
