BoG made it clear that photocopying Ghana Cards for customer verification is not an acceptable practice.

The directive, which aligns with the National Identity Register Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2111), underscores the growing risks associated with outdated verification methods such as lookup lists and visual inspections.
