The Fintech company won the Outstanding Payments Technology Provider of the Year 2024, while its Chief Executive Officer, John Apea, was crowned the Outstanding Fintech CEO of the Year.

These awards reaffirm eTranzact Ghana’s leadership in financial technologies service provision, commitment to the growth of the Fintech ecosystem as a pacesetter, and excellence in corporate finance.

eTranzact Ghana has consistently pioneered fintech industry transformation, integrating new technological innovations to enhance its business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) offerings for improved client experience.

Winning Outstanding Payments Technology Provider of the Year highlights eTranzact’s successful deployment of user-friendly digital solutions, including the XCEL Ghana mobile app which has made day-to-day electronic transactions more convenient, secure, and efficient.

These new laurels are the fourth for the brand this year as it was similarly crowned ‘Fintech Company of the Year’ 2024 and also secured the ‘Leading Payments Technology Service Provider’ of the Year for the second consecutive year, at the fourth Ghana Fintech Awards (GFA) held in March 2025.

The award-winning eTranzact CEO, John Apea, in an exclusive interview with the B&FT after the honours, emphasized that the awards reflect the company’s consistency in delivering reliable, scalable, and user-friendly payment solutions that empower businesses and individuals to transact with ease.

“What is interesting about the awards is that usually pioneers don’t win awards after 20 years of set up because new entrants try to justify themselves and win these awards, but we are still winning, which shows that we are always reinventing ourselves and raising the standards high.”

“These laurels again, are a testament to our hard work and continuous innovation. Most of the time, we are seen as pioneers in digital payment systems. Before the word Fintech became a sexy buy word, we were already doing it in a form known as ‘text me cash’,” he said.

Mr. Apea elaborated that the Fintech industry is a disruptive space and eTranzact is always trying to be disruptive and partners with banks and other FinTechs to innovatively deliver the best of products to the public.

He assured the public of the introduction of some new disruptive products that will be in the coming month before the end of year 2025.
