Speaking at the ceremony, Prof Hugh Aryee, Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of Hanypay Ghana Ltd, expressed appreciation to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Ghana for admitting the company into its Regulatory Sandbox Programme.
He described the admission as a significant milestone that reflected the Commission’s commitment to responsible innovation, investor protection, regulatory oversight, and the development of Ghana’s digital financial sector.
Prof Aryee said the company’s innovation strategy was anchored on transparency, accountability, compliance, and responsible digital financial innovation.
