Sending money from Ghana abroad (school fees, family support, business payments) involves FX, compliance checks, and licensed channels. Limits and documentation rules change — confirm with your bank or licensed remittance provider.
Common Channels
| Channel | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Bank wire / transfer | Larger formal payments |
| Licensed remittance / fintech apps | Smaller, faster transfers |
| Education fee payment partners | Some universities prefer designated rails |
Avoid giving cash to a stranger who “has a cousin in London.”
