MALICIOUS MESSAGES CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORMS ABOUT RURAL AND COMMUNITY BANKS
The attention of the Bank of Ghana has been drawn to malicious
messages circulating on social media platforms such as WhatsApp and
Facebook that an intended “clean up" of Rural and Community Banks
(RCBs) sub-sector by the Bank of Ghana would negatively affect
depositors fund with RCBs, urging them to move their funds to other
institutions.
For the avoidance of doubt, the clean-up exercise is only directed at
insolvent and illiquid financial institutions which are not able to meet
depositor withdrawals. The exercise is to enable depositors have access
to their funds.
The Bank of Ghana would want to encourage the general public and
customers to continue to do business with RCBs that are solvent, liquid
and strong.
