… As John Apea claims 'Fintech CEO of the Year 2024' award.
ETranzact Ghana Limited, a forefront supplier of cutting-edge payment technology, was recognized with dual accolades at the Ghana Corporate Finance Awards and Dinner Gala held in 2025.
The fintech firm secured the title of Best Payment Technology Supplier for 2024, and its leader, John Apea, earned recognition as the Top Fintech CEO of the year.
These awards reaffirm eTranzact Ghana’s leadership in financial technologies service provision, commitment to the growth of the Fintech ecosystem as a pacesetter, and excellence in corporate finance.
ETranzact Ghana has continually led the way in transforming the fintech sector by incorporating cutting-edge technology to improve their business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) services, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction.
Securing the title of Outstanding Payments Technology Provider of the Year underscores eTranzact’s effective implementation of intuitive digital services, such as the XCEL Ghana mobile application, making everyday electronic dealings more accessible, safe, and streamlined.
The cutting-edge XCEL mobile application, accessible via both the Apple Store and Google Play, facilitates effortless fund transfers to bank accounts, mobile wallets, and within XCEL’s own digital ecosystem through their virtual account system.

The user-friendly interface provides reliable payment solutions, establishing new benchmarks in the sector and allowing numerous Ghanaians to enjoy safe and easy-to-use financial tools.
This marks the fourth accolade for the company this year, having previously been named 'Fintech Company of the Year' in 2024 and securing the title of 'Leading Payments Technology Service Provider' for two years running at the fourth annual Ghana Fintech Awards (GFA), which took place in March 2025.
In an exclusive interview with the B&FT following the accolades, the esteemed CEO of eTranzact, John Apea, highlighted that these awards underscore the company’s steadfast commitment to providing consistent, dependable, expandable, and intuitive payment solutions designed to facilitate seamless transactions for both enterprises and individuals.
What makes these awards intriguing is that typically, trailblazers do not receive recognition after two decades since newer participants often strive to establish their credentials by securing such accolades. However, we continue to emerge victorious, indicating our consistent ability to reinvent ourselves and maintain exceptionally high standards.
"These achievements once more stand as proof of our relentless efforts and constant innovation. Often, we are recognized as trailblazers in digital payment solutions. Even before the term 'Fintech' gained trendy status, we had been pioneering this field through a service called 'text me cash'," he stated.
Mr. Apea explained that the Fintech sector operates as a disruptor, and eTranzact aims to stay at the forefront of this disruption. By collaborating with banks and fellow FinTech companies, they strive to creatively provide top-tier services to their customers.
He guaranteed the public about the release of several innovative products set for the upcoming months leading up to the end of 2025.
