The Head of Financial Services, Strategy and Operations at KPMG, Robert Dzato tells JOY BUSINESS even though customers are also increasingly patronizing digital banking services, electronic fraud remains a major disincentive.
He said, “Most of the customers we’ve interviewed actually said - I’d like to use digital, I’d like to use internet banking but I’m concerned about the fraud.

And so cyber security is a concern to a number customers and fraud as well.
But that is beginning to change, well in our survey we found out that possibly only four percent of customers use online banking but that’s on the average across the banking industry in Ghana.”
Robert Dzato added that, “there are some specific banks that have done extremely well possibly in the region of 30%.
