Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement System (GhIPSS) has launched a special Mothers' Day promotion in collaboration with Melcom, China Mall, Stadium Gate and all partner financial institutions, offering exciting rewards for customers who shop and pay with a gh-link card at selected outlets across the country.

Running from May 10th to 12th, 2024, the three-day promotion aims to encourage the use of gh-link cards for payments at various outlets in Ghana, while also celebrating mothers on their special day.

Participating outlets include Melcom stores in Kaneshie, Spintex, East Legon Boundary Road (Accra), Adum in Kumasi (Ashanti Region), Takoradi (Western Region), Wa (Upper West Region), Tamale (Northern Region), Sunyani (Bono Region), and Ho (Volta Region). Additionally, shoppers at the new China Mall at Spintex (Accra) and Stadium Gate (Ho) will also have the opportunity to join in the Mothers' Day promotion.

The Head of Cards and Verified Payments Unit at GhIPSS, Mrs. Akosua Blay, encouraged the public to obtain gh-link cards from their respective banks if they do not already possess one. Highlighting the benefits, she emphasized that acquiring the card is instant and transactions made with it incur lower costs compared to other cards.

gh-link cards, also known as domestic cards, are issued by various banks in Ghana and are distinguishable by the gh-link logo. Unlike international scheme cards, domestic cards offer cheaper transaction charges and quicker resolution of disputes. Transactions with gh-link cards are confined within the country, making them more cost-effective for users.

Currently, gh-link cards are accepted at all Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) nationwide and numerous Point of Sale (POS) devices, providing convenient and accessible payment options for customers across Ghana
