Country information

Currency

Ghanaian Cedi

The local currency is the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). Declare all GHS or other currency when you arrive in Ghana. This covers all forms of currency, not only cash. You can easily exchange US Dollars and Euros for GHS at commercial banks and exchange services. While ATMs are common in large towns, they may not be available in rural areas.

Many hotels, guesthouses and shops accept credit cards except for Mastercard, which is not widely accepted. Check ahead that you can make payment, and have back-up funds. Contact your card issuer before you travel in case they put a block on your account.

Keep your card in sight when paying bills and look closely when you use an ATM in case a skimming device has been attached to it.
