Former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Special Advisor on Policy at the Office of the Vice President, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has praised Ghana's interoperable payment system, which allows seamless payments between banks and mobile money accounts.

The unique instant payment system is renowned as the only one on the African continent, as Ghana is the only country with such instant cross-payment system between bank accounts and mobile money wallets.
