New Money Transfer service enters
Ghanaian market
Accra, July 31, Ghanadot/GNA - A new money transfer service
that caters for transfers from the US, enters the market on
Wednesday with a package that organisers say is "an
affordable way of remitting money to Ghanaians".
Liberty Transfer International, a Chicago-based company,
would be the first ever flat fee money transfer service in
Ghana, Mr William Adjovu, an official of the company, told
the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Tuesday.
"Liberty Money Transfer offers senders in the United States
an affordable way of remitting money to Ghana by charging a
flat fee of just $6.95, irrespective of the amount being
sent," he said.
"Liberty Money Transfer is the cheapest way to send money to
Ghana from America," he added.
Mr Adjovu said Liberty Transfer International was registered
with the US Department of Treasury and Illinois Department
of Financial and Professional Regulation as a money
transmitter adding that it was fully insured.
He said senders could use any of three ways offered when
sending money - going on line www.libertytransfer.com,
calling toll free US number 1-800-357-5837 or sending a text
of the amount and the recipient's mobile number to US number
1-312-731-2294.
Mr Ajovu said the company also sent free SMS alerts to both
sender and recipient when the money was sent and picked up.
He said recipients could pick up transfers from Ghana
Commercial Bank or Merchant Bank with customers at these
banks having their transfers directly deposited into their
bank accounts. The company said there were 200 pickup
locations throughout Ghana.
"We believe this new, convenient and affordable way to send
money to Ghana will offer relief to Ghanaians from expensive
charges incurred when remitting money to loved ones."
