The cost of withdrawing ₵49

This is about as small as a cash-out gets — pocket-change territory where the flat minimum bites hardest.

If you find yourself doing several of these, withdraw once and keep the change on the wallet for airtime or small buys.

A ₵49 withdrawal falls in the lowest band: a FLAT GH₵0.50 fee applies to any cash-out under ₵50, whatever the exact amount. On ₵49, that GH₵0.50 is an effective 1.02% — proportionally the most expensive band.

The lesson: cashing out tiny amounts is inefficient. Batch several small withdrawals into one, or keep the balance on the wallet to pay directly — there is no fee until you convert to cash.

On MTN MoMo, you cash out at an agent; check your balance first via *170# → 6 (My Wallet).
