What Agencies in Ghana need from a business account
Agencies bill clients in cedi and often in foreign currency, manage project based cash flow, and run small teams that need cards and clear records. The usual priorities are a cedi current account for day to day trading, a foreign currency account or foreign receiving service for overseas fees, simple transfers, and the ability to add signatories. Cash handling tends to matter less than for a retail business.
