At the launch of the e-Registration System at the Banquet Hall, State House, in Accra, Vice President Bawumia described the system as the “starting point to make Ghana the most business-friendly nation in Africa.”

  • How to buy Tether (USDT) in Ghana

    How to buy Tether (USDT) in Ghana

    Rapid advancement in Financial Technology has led to the creation of digital currencies, the most popular being Bitcoins. From its inception, the world of cryptocurrencies is known for its extreme volatility and its attractiveness to speculators. However, Stablecoins are a newer breed of crypto coins that are gaining popularity as they aim to tackle the problem of cryptocurrency volatility.

    What are Stablecoins?

    Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency linked to an asset like the U.S. dollar that doesn’t change much in value. It was introduced in 2014 with Tether and presently, the list of Stablecoins is wide and varied, amongst which we have the DAI, USD Coin, True USD, Digix Gold, Havven’s Nomin, Paxos Standard, and Binance USD.

    The majority of stablecoins that currently exist use the dollar as their benchmark asset, but many are also pegged to other fiat currencies issued by governments like the Euro and Yen.

    As a result, the price of stablecoins fluctuates very little, unlike high-profile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum that are prone to sudden ups and downs. Originally, stablecoins were primarily used to buy other cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, because many cryptocurrency exchanges didn’t allow fiat funding. 

    What is Tether (USDT)?

    Tether is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency whose crypto coins in circulation are backed by an equivalent amount of traditional fiat currencies, like the Dollar, the Euro, or the Japanese Yen, which are held in a designated bank account.

    Tether trade under the USDT symbol. It was specifically designed to build the necessary bridge between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies and offer stability, transparency, and minimal transaction charges to users. It is pegged against the U.S. dollar and maintains a 1:1 ratio with the U.S. dollar in terms of value

    Key Notes about Tether

    • Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency which aims to keep cryptocurrency valuations stable.
    • USDT is used by crypto investors who want to avoid the extreme volatility of other cryptocurrencies while keeping value within the crypto market.
    • USDT remains a major source of liquidity for the cryptocurrency market.
    • USDT offers minimal transaction charges to users.

    Why is USDT useful?

    Tether is useful for crypto investors because it offers a way to avoid the extreme volatility of other cryptocurrencies.

    Transaction cost: Having USDT (as opposed to the U.S. dollar, Euro or Yen) removes transaction costs and delays that impair trade execution within the crypto market.

    Safe Haven Asset: Stablecoins have a value that is designed to be stable over any period. This feature makes stablecoins an ideal safe haven asset because, unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that can fluctuate dramatically in price every day, an individual using stablecoins to store value see no risk of loss, especially because they have full custody of their asset.

    Remittance: Cross-border payments and remittances are very real problems that overseas workers face when trying to send money home. Sending money internationally comes with high fees. For example, most migrant workers in Asia send home approximately $200 monthly, but they must pay $12 in international transfer fees–half a day’s wages gone for many.

    Thankfully, Yellow Card offers Ghanaians a safe platform to trade USDT with GHS at the best rates. Even better, USDT on Yellow Card is available on the Tron network (TRC-20) which offers cheaper network fees to transfer your USDT between wallets.

    How Do I Buy USDT in Ghana on Yellow Card?

    To buy USDT on Yellow Card, follow these steps:

    1. Sign up for a Yellow Card account
    2. Fund your wallet with GHS. You can add money to your wallet using mobile money:
    • Tap on Deposit
    • Tap on Mobile Money 
    • Entire the desired amount you want to deposit
    • Confirm with your phone number and choose your network provider
    • Tap continue then confirm.

    Buy USDT on the TRON network. Just follow the steps below:

    • Sign up for a Yellow Card account
    • Tap on USDT
    • Tap on Trade
    • Tap on Buy
    • Enter your desired amount
    • Tap continue then confirm.

    How Do I sell USDT in Ghana on Yellow Card?

    You can also sell USDT on Yellow Card. Log in to your account and follow these steps:

    1. Tap on USDT
    2. Tap on Trade
    3. Tap on sell
    4. Enter your desired amount
    5. Tap continue
    6. Tap confirm

    Once you have sold your USDT, you can easily withdraw to your Momo.

    Conclusion

    It is safe to say that Ghanaians and foreigners residing in Ghana can stay in the cryptocurrency space by using USDT. It is now possible to escape the volatility of other cryptocurrencies and protect your finances against inflation resulting from the ravages of the health crisis.

  • 3 Simple Ways to Link SSNIT & Ghana Card before 31st December Deadline

    3 Simple Ways to Link SSNIT & Ghana Card before 31st December Deadline

    As the year draws to a close, it has become important for all of us to make sure we have done all the necessary things we can, especially those with a deadline. The SSNIt and Ghana Card link is one of such necessities.

    The SSNIT offices across the country have been open since yesterday to aid all those who want to link their SSNIT and NIA (Ghana Card) numbers. The SSNIT offices will continue to work till the last day of this year, 31st December 2021 at 4:30 p.m.

    However, if you do not want to step foot in the office, there are various other means to do the linkage, even if you are outside Ghana.

    In this article, I look at all the 3 possible ways that every Ghanaian with an old SSNIT number can link it with their Ghana Card numbers before the deadline reaches.

    Why you should merge/link your SSNIT and NIA (Ghana Card) Numbers

    1. You only have to carry your Ghana Card for all transactions
    2. Easy identification of nominated dependants
    3. You save money because you don’t need to pay for a SSNIT card
    4. It’s a legal requirement

    What you need to merge your SSNIT and Ghana Card Numbers

    To link your SSNIT and Ghana Card Number, you need to have the following:

    • Your NIA number
    • SSNIT number
    • Mobile phone number
    • Active email address

    How to find your NIA/Ghana Card Number

    To find your NIA or Ghana Card number, all you need is your Ghana Card. Once you have the Ghana Card, look at the section that says “Personal ID Number”. You will find an alphanumeric code in the format “GNXXXXXXXXXX”.

    The alphanumeric code is your NIA Number or your Ghana Card number. It is this code that you will use to merge your SSNIT and NIA Numbers.

    These are the 3 approved ways you can do the SSNIT & Ghana Card merger:

    1. By walking into any SSNIT office near you
    2. By using the shortcode – *711*9#
    3. by using the SSNIT website

    Now let’s explain each method.

    Method 1: Merge your SSNIT and Ghana Card on your Phone

    1. Dial *711*9# on your mobile phone
    2. Select option 1
    3. Enter your SSNIT Number
    4. Enter your email address (if the phone number you are using is different from your phone number registered in our database)
    5. Enter the Personal ID Number on your Ghana Card
    6. Select option 1 to complete the merging of your SSNIT and the NIA numbers (Personal ID Number on your Ghana Card)
    7. Wait for the confirmation message

    Method 2: Merge your SSNIT and NIA (Ghana Card) Number online

    Follow these steps to merge your SSNIT and NIA Number very fast:

    1. Visit the official SSNIT Members Website – https://www.ssnit.org.gh/member/
    2. Log in with your current SSNIT number and Password
    3. Request for a new Password here if you don’t have one and use it to log in
    4. At the top bar, click on the “Merge My NIA” button
    5. Read the terms and conditions and check the box to continue
    6. Enter your NIA Number to continue
    7. Confirm your email and phone number
    8. Click submit to successfully link your SSNIT Number and NIA Number.

    Method 3: Visit a local SSNIT Office

    This method is best for those who could not merge via the 1st and 2nd methods. You can do a Google Map Search for a SSNIT office near you, and then visit them to have the merger done. 

    Please note that you will have to go with your Ghana Card in order to complete this method successfully. The process itself is less than 5 minutes but you might meet a queue or there would be network issues. Just be patient and the SSNIT representative will help you merge your SSNIT and Ghana card numbers.

    Conclusion

    Thank you for reading and we hope the methods described here will be of help to you. A happy new year in advance to you and share this with your friends.

    • A transparent Silicon case
    • A sim ejector

    My TECNO Spark 8p was presented in the orange-like exciting case synonymous with the Spark series. The packaging lifts you in high spirit and directs you to what you should expect.

    When you open the box, you get the device itself. Next, you find the silicone case that fits perfectly fine with the device when I tested it.

    At the back of the TECNO Spark 8p itself, there is a very new and welcomed shiny design. You can also see in the photos that there is a super shiny camera cut out made of plastic.

    TECNO also seized the opportunity to put in a lot of branding as the TECNO Spark logo is very visible.

    While holding it, the device felt good in the hands and looks beautiful; something I would want to “flex” with given the transparent case.

    The power button, this time, also acts as the fingerprint sensor; and using it feels so fast and responsive.
