Ghana-based Zenith Bank has unveiled a new pre-paid card, dubbed as Global Travel Wallet (GTW), for travellers in a bid to promote cashless commerce in the country.
The GTW, which is approved by Bank of Ghana, will enable travellers to deposit a maximum of $10,000 in it for their business transactions and is designed to serve as a more convenient and secured means to carry foreign exchange, according to Vibe Ghana.
