The public has been cautioned by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) that those who consistently write bad checks will be prohibited from writing new ones for three years.
New credit facilities within the banking and financial sector will not be available to such individuals. On June 24, 2026, the central bank released updated regulatory directions that included the reminder.
However, BoG made it clear that impacted clients will still be able to make other electronic transactions and receive money into their accounts.
The notice said, “All Banks and Specialised Deposit Taking Institutions will be notified about this ban.”
The central bank further stated that banks and SDIs must recall all unused chequebooks and notify impacted consumers within five working days of learning of the prohibition.
Additionally, BoG revealed that it will make public the names of clients who commit crimes for the third time.
