Although many Ghanaians have gone through the process of linking their Ghana card to their bank accounts, they are unable to tell if they have been successful.

If your card is not completely linked to your account, you may have serious issues in the near future. But the question is, even without going to the nearest branch of your bank, how can you confirm that the bank has not completed the linking of the card to your account?

Currently, if you have linked your mobile phone (Momo number) to your bank account, you should be able to transfer money from your bank account to your mOmo and vice versa.

When your Ghana card is successfully linked to your bank account, you will not be charged an amount as tax when you deposit money into your bank account from your Momo Wallet.

That is how it should work, just as you are not supposed to be charged any tax if you transfer money from one momo to the other in an instance where both are linked to the same Ghana card.
