You've worked long hours in Italy so your loved ones back home in Ghana can get help when they need it. But every time you try to remit money to Ghana, you're stuck waiting days, paying steep fees, or worrying whether the transfer will actually arrive. What if there was a way to send money online to Ghana from Italy that's fast, secure, and puts more money in their hands?
This blog shows you the fastest way to do that using MTN Mobile Money via ACE Money Transfer.
MTN Mobile Money is widely accepted across Ghana, including in rural and city areas, and mtn Ghana operates the country’s largest mobile money platform, used by over 17 million people.
Recipients can access funds immediately on their phone—even without a bank account. Funds sent via mobile money to Ghana are often available to recipients within seconds, with SMS alerts confirming the transaction.
The wallet must be fully registered and active with the local provider to receive money from international transfers.
International remittances can only go to personal MTN wallets, not MTN business accounts.

Other major providers include Vodafone Cash and airtel tigo, while Telecel Cash is the second-largest network and is widely accepted across the country. AT Money is another reliable mobile network in Ghana that is merging with Telecel to offer broader coverage.
Mobile money transfers are generally characterized by lower costs and better exchange rates compared to traditional bank transfers, making them a popular choice for remittances.
It avoids the limitations of bank hours and lets your family use the money right away.
