Bank of Ghana Admits Six Firms Into Regulatory Sandbox for Virtual Assets
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has admitted six companies into its Regulatory Sandbox for a one-year period, as part of efforts to foster innovation while safeguarding market integrity within the financial sector.
The selected firms are Transika Ltd., One Africa Securities Ltd., Mansu Technologies Ltd., Payafrione GH Ltd., Akuna Wallet Ltd., and Afrix Paycoin Ltd., according to a press release issued by the central bank on January 22, 2026.
The BoG said the participating entities will support the validation of proposed regulatory frameworks governing the exchange, custody, administration and issuance of virtual assets in Ghana.
The Regulatory Sandbox initiative is aimed at enabling controlled testing of innovative financial products and services, allowing the central bank to assess potential risks while encouraging responsible innovation in the digital finance space.
The Bank of Ghana cautioned that it reserves the right to withdraw approval granted to any participant in cases of non-performance or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.
The programme is being coordinated by the FinTech and Innovation Office of the central bank, which continues to lead regulatory engagement on emerging financial technologies.
