Map every regulated activity and supervisor
- Action d’implémentation

Appoint an empowered AMLRO
- Action d’implémentation

For BoG-licensed institutions, submit the board-approved policy and manual to BoG within five working days.

Identify and verify before providing unrestricted service
- Action d’implémentation

- Preuves à conserver
- ID matrix, Ghana Card verification result, exception category evidence and staff guidance.
- Source primaire
- [2], [4]

- Source primaire
- [2]
Control financial-inclusion exceptions

- Preuves à conserver
- Product approval, tier rules, expiry alerts, restriction logic and exception report.
- Source primaire
- [2]
Understand purpose and expected activity
- Action d’implémentation

- Preuves à conserver
- Customer profile, expected-activity fields, source records, risk rationale and review triggers.
- Source primaire
- [1], [2]
Stop when CDD cannot be completed
- Action d’implémentation
- If the institution cannot perform the CDD required by the BoG/FIC Guideline, do not open the account, commence the business relationship or perform the transaction. Submit an SAR or STR to FIC within 24 hours. For an existing relationship, restrict or discontinue activity in accordance with the approved closure procedure and maintain non-tipping-off controls.
- Preuves à conserver
- Rejected or restricted case, closure decision, SAR or STR, filing receipt and non-tipping-off controls
- Source primaire
- BoG/FIC AML/CFT/CPF Guideline, section 2.4.6
03KYB, ownership and controlVerify the legal person, trace natural-person ownership and control, and keep AML analysis distinct from ORC filing thresholds.6 éléments+
Verify the legal person and its authority chain
- Action d’implémentation
- Obtain and independently verify incorporation, legal form, registered office, principal business, tax and licence information, directors, authorised signatories and the authority of each person acting for the entity. Use the Office of the Registrar of Companies entity-information service where available.
- Preuves à conserver
- ORC extract, constitutional documents, tax and licence records, board authority, signatory verification and discrepancy log.
- Source primaire
- [1], [2], [5], [6]
Identify natural-person beneficial owners
- Action d’implémentation
- For BoG-licensed institutions, identify and verify each natural person with 5% or more controlling interest and any natural person who ultimately owns, controls, directs or economically benefits from the customer. If ownership does not reveal the controller, follow the control and senior-managing-official cascade required by the applicable rule.
- Preuves à conserver
- Ownership chart to natural persons, percentages, control rationale, identity verification and senior-official fallback record.
- Source primaire
- [2]
Separate ORC filing thresholds from AML CDD
- Action d’implémentation
- Use the current ORC beneficial-ownership form and filing category for company-law submissions, while independently applying the AML test. 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. ORC public materials are not fully consistent, so confirm the filing category directly with ORC.
- Preuves à conserver
- Threshold decision note, current BO1 form, ORC confirmation where needed, filed return and separate AML ownership analysis.
- Source primaire
- [7], [8]
Keep registry ownership current
- Action d’implémentation

- Preuves à conserver
- Change alerts, filed forms, annual-return receipt, reconciliation and resolved discrepancies.
- Source primaire
- [8]
Reject bearer-share opacity

- Apply the ORC public directive that no bearer shares may be issued and treat bearer-share structures, nominees or unexplained control layers as heightened-risk indicators requiring clarification and escalation.
- Preuves à conserver
- Constitutional-document check, customer attestation, ownership evidence, escalation and remediation record.
- Source primaire
- [9]
Verify licences and merchant legitimacy
- Action d’implémentation
- Confirm that the entity holds every required BoG or other sector licence and that its website, settlement account, directors, locations and stated activity align. Do not confuse a licensing ownership criterion, including a foreign-shareholder attestation threshold, with the AML beneficial-owner test.
- Preuves à conserver
- Regulator check, licence copy, operating-footprint review, website and account match, and discrepancy decision.
- Source primaire
- [10]

- [2]
Refresh CDD by risk and trigger
- Action d’implémentation

Below USD 1,000, obtain and retain the minimum names and account numbers or traceable transaction references, and verify them when suspicious.

- If the institution is authorised for or exposed to virtual-asset activity, assess wallet, counterparty, travel-rule, sanctions, source-of-funds and transaction risks under the current Ghanaian licensing and supervisory framework. Do not imply that a pending or evolving authorisation route permits unlicensed activity.

The current BoG/FIC Guideline operationalises this through daily prescribed-medium reporting and states thresholds of GHS 50,000 for banks and GHS 20,000 for specialised deposit-taking institutions, including the foreign-currency equivalent. Apply the threshold prescribed for the institution's actual sector and include linked transactions where the governing rule requires aggregation. FIC's public material separately gives GHS 50,000 as an example for banking and securities. Confirm the current Gazette threshold and filing instruction before implementation. ECTR reporting applies to commercial banks for inward and outward transfers exceeding USD 1,000, with reporting within 24 hours after transfer or receipt.

Questions KYC, KYB et AML pour Ghana
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.

VOVE ID Compliance Research · Revue le 15 July 2026 · Version 1.1
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.
