The cost of withdrawing ₵500

Five hundred cedis is a meaningful payment — a supplier deposit, a rent contribution, a chunk of school costs.

At this level it is worth confirming the agent's float first; a half-thousand pull can clean out a small kiosk's cash.

A ₵500 withdrawal is in the 1% band (₵50 to ₵2,000): the fee is 1% of the amount, so GH₵5 here. This is the band where cost scales with the amount withdrawn.

The key point: at ₵2,000 that percentage stops and the fee becomes a flat GH₵20 cap. So ₵1,999 costs GH₵19.99 but ₵2,001 costs only GH₵20. If your withdrawal is near ₵2,000, aiming just above can be smart.

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