There are limited bank branches in Ghana, and not all residents have access to a branch of the bank. There is even an argument that most of these banks do not offer the best financial services to their clients. Some people rely on savings and loans companies (S&Ls) for mortgages and personal loans. These companies operate like banks but they make fewer investments and usually provide better rates of interest to their customers. They also typically charge lower fees than banks.
