Questions are being raised over whether the E-Levy is truly gone after reports that, effective June 1, 2026, transfers from Mobile Money wallets to bank accounts will attract a 0.75% charge per transaction, capped at GHS 5.
Some Ghanaians have expressed frustration over the deductions, arguing that the new charges place an extra financial burden on users already paying various transaction fees and taxes.
Others believe the move resembles a reintroduction of the controversial E-Levy through a different system.
Critics say the government had promised to remove the E-Levy entirely, but the latest charges have sparked fresh public debate over digital transaction costs in Ghana.
