Directive to Market Operators, Fintech Service Providers, and Persons Owning and/or Operating Online Investment and Trading Platforms
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana mandates that all licensed market operators, fintech service providers, and online investment platform owners must register or obtain a specific SEC license for each investor-facing digital platform. Entities must complete a structured application process involving platform demonstrations, regulatory guidance, and fee payments, with full compliance required by August 31, 2026. The directive explicitly excludes back-office support systems, AML/CFT solutions, investor complaint portals, and educational platforms, while warning that unlicensed operators will face immediate cessation orders and regulatory sanctions.
