According to the data from the Bank of Ghana, the value of mobile money transactions in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December 2021 were estimated at GHS 67.1 billion, GHS 67.9 billion, GHS 82.3 billion, GHS 83.8 billion, GHS 86.5 billion, GHS 89.1 billion, GHS 99.1 billion GHS 81.8 billion, GHS 71 billion, GHS 80.0 billion, GHS 86.1 billion and GHS 82.9 billion respectively.

On the other hand, cheque transactions in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December 2021 were estimated at GHS 17.0 billion, GHS 15.5 billion, GHS 18.3 billion, GHS 17.5 billion, GHS 15.7 billion, GHS 17.9 billion, GHS 16.4 billion, GHS 16.4 billion, GHS 15.6 billion, GHS 16.2 billion, GHS 18.5 billion and GHS 18.9 billion respectively.

Increasingly, mobile money transaction is relegating cheque transactions to the background. 

Banks will therefore have to dig deep to innovate and come up with solutions similarly to that of mobile money to compete.

Alternatively, they could partner the telecommunication networks to take advantage of the fast growing market.
