The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has directed all firms operating online investment schemes in Ghana to register their platforms with the regulator by August 31, 2026, or face possible sanctions.

The directive, contained in a statement issued on June 23, 2026, applies to licensed market operators, financial technology (FinTech) companies, and any person or entity operating investor-facing online investment or trading platforms.

According to the SEC, under existing securities market rules, a licensed market operator that owns or operates an investment technology or online platform used to perform licensed activities must obtain separate registration and approval for each platform.
