the regulator of FinTech in Ghana is the Bank of Ghana. The Act states that the Bank of Ghana shall have overall supervisory and regulatory authority in all matters relating to payment, clearing and settlement systems.

According to Section 3 of the Payment and Services Act, 2019 (Act 987), the regulator of FinTech in Ghana is the Bank of Ghana. The Act states that the Bank of Ghana shall have overall supervisory and regulatory authority in all matters relating to payment, clearing and settlement systems. As a result of the emergence of FinTech solutions, a lot of complexities have been introduced requiring the Bank of Ghana’s focus to understand and supervise FinTech activities effectively.

Purposeful effort will be required from regulators to shape the future of FinTech and push it in a productive direction in Ghana. It is hopeful that with the introduction of the FinTech and Innovation Office of the Bank of Ghana, there would be regular updates to the licensing requirements of FinTech companies that would ensure adequate compliance with international best practice and also encourage more entrepreneurs to set up FinTech companies in Ghana.

This article explores the austere labour regime of Safaricom – Kenya's largest telecommunications firm and financial services provider – from the perspective of the women and men who work as ‘human ATMs’ for Safaricom's breakout service, M-Pesa. Far from women and men simply acting as ATMs, I argue that the affective and social labour of these people working at sites across the country constitutes a form of maintenance work that, while essentially free in Safaricom's accounts, critically underwrites the success of M-Pesa and Safaricom.

I argue that the work of ‘human ATMs’ constitutes both the ‘front story’ and the ‘backstory’ of contemporary modes of accumulation unfolding in Kenya. Their labour is formally exploited while broader forms of work required to build and maintain the social and material networks on which Safaricom depends are expropriated, forming the basis of new frontiers of accumulation. This process is mirrored in Safaricom's contemporary business strategy, which is premised on enclosing people's everyday habits and social networks in their digital forms as sites of innovation and market-making.
