Vodafone has launched its mobile cash transfer system in Ghana where 15m people do not have a bank account.
The service, called M-Pesa, will be branded Vodafone Cash in the West African state. It allows mobile phone users to load money on to their phones, just as pay-as-you-go customers can top up their credit.
They can send the funds anywhere in the country with a text message. Recipients can pick up the cash at shops that offer the service.
