Bank of Ghana Revokes Zeepay's Licence Over Regulatory Breaches
The Bank of Ghana has revoked Zeepay's operating licence following regulatory compliance breaches, marking one of the most significant enforcement actions in Ghana's fintech sector. The decision has been widely read as a stark warning to fintech operators across Africa about regulatory compliance obligations.

For investors doing due diligence across African fintech: the float question isn't just an accounting check. It's a governance question. Who actually controls where customer balances sit?
