The current BO1 form shows 5% for high-risk sectors and non-Ghanaian PEPs, any amount for Ghanaian PEPs, and 20% in other cases, plus control tests.

أسئلة KYC وKYB وAML في غانا
What is Ghana's STR deadline?+
An accountable institution must report within 24 hours after suspicion or reasonable grounds arise. Attempted transactions and transactions of any amount may be reportable.
What beneficial-owner threshold should a BoG-licensed institution use?+
The September 2025 BoG/FIC guideline requires identification of a natural person with 5% or more controlling interest and anyone who ultimately owns or controls the customer. This AML test is separate from ORC filing categories.
Is the Ghana Card required for onboarding?+
For BoG-regulated financial transactions, the Ghana Card is the prescribed identity credential for Ghanaian citizens. Current routes differ for eligible non-Ghanaian, refugee, asylum-seeker and diplomatic customers.
Is Ghana on the FATF grey list?+
Ghana was not named in FATF's jurisdictions under increased monitoring or jurisdictions subject to a call for action statements published on 19 June 2026. This is not a low-risk designation and does not replace a documented risk assessment.

This checklist is general compliance information, not legal advice. Act 1044 applies across accountable institutions, while the September 2025 BoG/FIC Guideline is the principal overlay used here for Bank of Ghana-licensed institutions. Securities, insurance, pensions, DNFBP and other regulated businesses must add their own supervisor's current rules. Confirm commencement, amendments, forms, thresholds and filing channels with the relevant Ghanaian authority before implementation.
