From the CFOs Office: Part III

🇬🇭 Tema, Ghana- Port CFO


"When a vessel berths, I have maybe 48 hours to make sure handling, security, and fuel suppliers are paid. If even one transfer stalls, the entire chain slows.

Treasury here feels is stressful—patching together local transfers, USD wires, and mobile money.

At the board level, I’m asked: what’s our cash position across all these? Truth is, I don’t always know. That’s a painful admission for a CFO.”

Breakdown

• Pain Point: Fragmented channels (local banks, USD wires, mobile money) make visibility almost impossible.
• Why it Matters: Without clarity, CFOs can’t optimize liquidity—leading to higher working capital costs and strained supplier trust.
• Opportunity: Design-led payment experiences that unify all flows into a single interface would give CFOs both control and foresight.
• Revenue Play: For banks and payment providers, offering this clarity is a premium product CFOs will pay for because it directly impacts board-level metrics: working capital, liquidity ratios, and credit ratings.
