The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has disclosed that reported fraud cases in Ghana's digital financial services sector increased by 48 per cent in 2025, underscoring the growing risks associated with the rapid expansion of digital finance.

According to Mr Asare, the increase in fraud has reinforced the Bank of Ghana's resolve to strengthen supervision of digital financial services to protect consumers and maintain confidence in the financial system.

Speaking on behalf of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana at the maiden Ecobank–JoyNews Business Financial Dialogue held on Tuesday, July 28, at the Ecobank Auditorium in Accra, Mr Owureku Asare, Head of the Fintech and Innovation Department at BoG, said while Ghana's digital financial ecosystem continues to expand, preserving public trust remains the central bank's top priority.
