MCC’s $547 million Ghana Compact (2007-2012) funded the $30 million Financial Services Activity which aimed to establish a computerized networking system among 130 rural banks and APEX, the bank regulator. The system was designed to improve financial service delivery, operations, and access to information at rural banks with the objective of enhancing the depth, value, and reliability of rural financial services, and widening access to savings services and cash transfers for rural communities.
