Local card networks in Ghana

Besides the international networks, Ghana has its own card scheme. Its numbers often use prefixes that a Visa/Mastercard-only form rejects or labels wrongly, so test them on purpose.

Frequently asked questions

Can I generate a Ghana credit card number for testing?

Yes. Every number on this page starts with a real BIN registered to a bank in Ghana — by default 413102 (Zenith Bank (Ghana), Ltd, Visa debit). The remaining digits are random and the last one is a Luhn check digit. None of them is a real card; live payments fail.

Which card networks are most common in Ghana?

By BIN count in our data: Visa 63%, Mastercard 27%, Local brand 3%, UnionPay 2%. Debit ranges make up 84% and credit ranges 16%.

Which BINs do Visa cards from Ghana start with?

Examples from different banks: 413102 (Zenith Bank (Ghana), Ltd); 404587 (Ecobank Ghana, Ltd); 471473 (Fidelity Bank Ghana, Ltd); 403708 (First Atlantic Bank, Ltd). See the Ghana BIN list for every bank.

Which currency should I use to test payments from Ghana?

GHS (Ghanaian cedi). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). Shoppers with cards from Ghana can still be charged in other currencies; their bank converts the amount.

Can I use a generated Ghana card number to buy something?

They do not. A generated number only has the right shape; Zenith Bank (Ghana) or any other issuer has never heard of it, so authorization always fails. Real alternatives: a virtual card from a bank in Ghana or a wallet such as MTN MoMo and Telecel Cash (formerly Vodafone Cash). Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.

How do people pay online in Ghana besides cards?

MTN MoMo: MTN Mobile Money, accepted online by Ghanaian PSPs such as Paystack. Telecel Cash (formerly Vodafone Cash): Mobile money wallet of Telecel Ghana, supported by Paystack. AirtelTigo Money: Mobile money wallet supported by Paystack and dLocal in Ghana.
