Payouts to Ghana
Pay Ghanaian cedis from USDT or USDC
Ghana is a technology and trade corridor: Accra's software houses, design studios and agencies invoice clients abroad, and importers pay for goods that clear through Tema. XEROF pays GHS to a Ghanaian bank account from a USDT or USDC balance, up to the equivalent of USD 100,000 per payment, business to business, business to consumer and consumer to business.
How a payout to Ghana works
Ghana Cedi payments settle through the local banking rails; the beneficiary receives cedis, not dollars, and the USD figure is only the ceiling per payment.

Paying Ghana from Zug: timing and practicalities
Accra is on Greenwich Mean Time, one to two hours behind Zug, so a cedi payment confirmed in the Swiss morning reaches the Ghanaian bank during its working morning. Ghanaian banks clear on weekdays and close for national holidays.
Beneficiaries are addressed by bank, branch and account number, and mobile money wallets are not a payout destination. Accra software studios and agencies invoicing clients abroad are the typical beneficiaries, with cocoa and shea exporters on the trade side.
What XEROF needs before the first payment
- Beneficiary name exactly as the bank holds it, bank, branch and account number.
- The commercial invoice, contract or fee note being settled.
- Purpose of payment where the receiving bank requires it, agreed before the first cedi payment.
