As John Apea claims the title of ‘Fintech CEO of the Year 2024,’ he stands out as exceptional.
eTranzact Ghana Limited, a leading provider of innovative payment technology solutions, has been honoured with two prestigious awards at the Ghana Corporate Finance Awards and Dinner Gala 2025.
The fintech firm secured the title of Outstanding Payments Technology Provider for 2024, and their leader, Chief Executive Officer John Apea, was honored as the Outstanding Fintech CEO of the year.
These accolades underscore eTranzact Ghana’s position as a leader in providing financial technology services, their dedication to fostering the development of the FinTech industry as an innovator, and their outstanding performance in corporate finance.
eTranzact Ghana has consistently pioneered fintech industry transformation, integrating new technological innovations to enhance its business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) offerings for improved client experience.
Winning Outstanding Payments Technology Provider of the Year highlights eTranzact’s successful deployment of user-friendly digital solutions, including the XCEL Ghana mobile app which has made day-to-day electronic transactions more convenient, secure, and efficient.
The cutting-edge XCEL mobile application accessible via the Apple Store and Google Platform facilitates smooth transfers of funds to bank accounts, mobile wallets, and XCEL’s own virtual accounts. It also supports Micro-Savings through eSusu, bill payments, and airtime top-ups. The app offers affordable transaction fees along with user-friendly payment gateways, establishing new benchmarks within the sector and providing numerous Ghanaians with safe and hassle-free financial solutions.
This marks the fourth accolade for the company this year, having been named ‘Fintech Company of the Year’ 2024 and securing the title of ‘ Leading Payments Technology Service Provider’ for the second year running during the fourth 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 consistent delivery of 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 credibility and secure such accolades. However, we continue to claim victories, indicating our ongoing commitment to innovation and maintaining exceptionally high standards.
“These achievements once more stand as proof of our relentless efforts and ongoing innovations. 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 is known for disruption, and eTranzact aims to lead in this area by partnering with banks and other FinTech companies to creatively offer top-tier services to customers.
He guaranteed the public about the release of several innovative products scheduled for the upcoming months leading up to the end of 2025.
