About the British Pound
The British Pound (GBP, £) is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the primary currency in which the UK-based African diaspora earns and sends. Issued by the Bank of England, the Pound is subdivided into 100 pence. The UK is one of the three largest remittance source markets for Africa, channelling several billion pounds a year primarily to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. After the 2016 Brexit referendum the GBP traded substantially weaker against both USD and EUR, which compressed remittance values when measured in either dollars or recipient local currency. Mobile-first remitters serving the UK-Africa corridor — Sendwave, LemFi, TapTap Send, Lemonade Finance — typically post a GBP rate within 0.5%–2% of interbank, with the fee structure varying by amount and destination.
About the Ghanaian Cedi
The Ghanaian Cedi (GHS, ₵) is the official currency of Ghana, issued by the Bank of Ghana. The current Cedi is the third iteration of the currency: it was reintroduced in July 2007 at a rate of 1 new Cedi for 10,000 old Cedis as part of a redenomination intended to simplify accounting and restore confidence in the unit. Subdivided into 100 pesewas, the Cedi has depreciated notably against the USD over the 2020s amid commodity-price volatility and inflation pressures. Ghana is a major gold and cocoa exporter, and Cedi liquidity often tracks commodity revenue cycles. For diaspora flows to MTN MoMo Ghana, AirtelTigo Money and Telecel Cash, the formal-channel Cedi rate sits close to interbank because Ghana's interbank market is comparatively deep and the abolition of the E-Levy in April 2025 removed a transaction-tax layer.
