Background

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) in January this year revoked the licence of Heritage Bank Ghana Limited.

BoG said it found out that aspects of the bank's operations breached various aspects of the Banks and Specialised Deposit-Taking Institutions Act, 2016 (Act 930).

The central bank then approved a purchase and assumption agreement with Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited to take over the liabilities and selected assets of the bank.

The BoG explained that the main shareholder of the defunct Heritage Bank Ghana Limited was not "fit and proper" to own a bank.
