Databank Nyansapo Account

Ghana Stock Exchange



The Databank Nyansapo Account is an investment account tailor-made for informal sector workers. With the introduction of this new investment account, clients who sign up for it will enjoy the benefits of investing in a Databank mutual fund as well as other special benefits that are exclusive to only Nyansapo account holders. Among the numerous benefits is the ability of account holders to use their investments as collateral for loans, access to free health screening, business expansion support and souvenirs and rewards from Databank.

As a firm, our reason behind developing a product for informal sector workers is mainly to help them better plan their finances. Quite often, informal sector workers are faced with the challenge of not finding products that are specific to their needs. As the leading investment bank in Ghana, Databank decided to develop Databank Nyansapo Account to meet the investment needs of Ghana’s informal sector workers.

Funds deposited under Nyansapo Account are invested in MFund. To learn more about MFund, kindly visit the MFund section on the website.

3. Can I access the funds in my investment anytime I need money?

  • Yes. While you can access your funds at any time, it is recommended that each deposit remains invested for at least 12 months before withdrawing. This is because the longer you leave your investment, the more likely it is to grow.

5. What returns will I make on my investments?

  • Your returns will be same as the returns of Databank MFund. Thus, your returns are realized from changes in MFund’s price (relative to the price at which you purchased it). For example, if you bought a share at GHC 0.50 and the current price is GHC 0.80, then the return on that share is GHC 0.80 – GHC 0.50 = GHC 0.30 (which translates to a return of 60%). All interest earned by the Fund’s investment is automatically reinvested.
