The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has admitted six companies into its Regulatory Sandbox as part of efforts to support financial innovation while maintaining market integrity.

The selected firms will participate in the sandbox programme for a one-year period and will help the central bank test and validate proposed regulatory frameworks for virtual assets.

The companies admitted are Transika Ltd., One Africa Securities Ltd., Mansu Technologies Ltd., Payafrione GH Ltd., Akuna Wallet Ltd., and Afrix Paycoin Ltd.

In a statement issued on Thursday, 22nd January, 2026, the Bank of Ghana said the sandbox initiative will focus on activities related to the exchange, custody, administration, and issuance of virtual assets. The programme is designed to allow regulators to assess emerging financial technologies in a controlled environment before introducing formal regulations.

The central bank stressed that participation in the sandbox does not amount to full regulatory approval. It also reserved the right to withdraw approval for any participating entity that fails to meet performance expectations or comply with applicable requirements.

The Regulatory Sandbox forms part of the Bank of Ghana’s broader strategy to balance innovation in the financial sector with consumer protection and financial system stability.
