Postal Orders

The Postal Order procedure is nearly identical to that of the ordinary money order. It is printed in a wide variety of denominations and ideal for all kinds of mail order purchases. It is still the most convenient way to send money across the country. Appropriate commission is also paid on the order purchased. INTRODUCTION OF NEW POSTAL ORDERS In recent times, the Ghana Post Company Limited has been grappling with the problems of fictitious Postal Order payments. Millions of cedis of the Company's hard earned money was used to pay for the fraudulent postal orders. Apart from this, there was a dwindling of public confidence in our Postal Orders leading to low patronage. Customers concerns were that the fake postal orders in the system led to the genuine ones being unnecessarily scrutinized at the office of payment and delaying payment. Some were also of the view that since it was not the issuing office that pays the Postal Orders, the fake Postal Orders in the system will eventually dry up our finances leading to the Corporation being unable to honour the genuine Postal Orders.
