“Some of our clients whose business transcended geographical locations, multi languages, multi currency were approaching us regularly with the problems they were facing in their cross boarder business and the countless bottlenecks which slow down their cash management process,” Mr Essien said.

He said Ecobank Omni was essentially a resource for multinationals, public corporations, international organisation and financial institutions that did business in or with Africa.

“Ecobank Omni will help companies maximise their local and regional opportunities,” he noted.

Mr Sam Adjei, Managing Director of Ecobank, Ghana, said Ecobank Omni would complement the on-going payment enhancement in Ghana and provide a useful tool enhancing service delivery to customers.

In an address read on his behalf, Dr Kofi Wampah, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, urged the management to strengthen security in order to mitigate risks such as identifying theft, money laundering and other risks to safeguard the interest of customers.
