Zeepay MD, Andrew Takyi-Appiah officially introduced his company, Zeepay Ghana Limited to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to seek Otumfuo’s blessings towards Zeepay Mobile Money and donated GHS20,000 to Otumfuo Education Fund.

Asantehene expressed his delight at the wholly Ghanaian-owned mobile money company and commended them for taking the initiative to compete in an industry operated only by foreign companies – MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, and AirtelTigo.

Asantehene further mentioned that he is exceptionally excited that one of his own, the late Dr. A. K. Appiah is part of the starting founders of Zeepay, and therefore he receives Zeepay into Asanteman as his own.

Leading up to Akwasidae, Zeepay stormed Asanteman from Wednesday 27th October 2021 to Sunday 31st October 2021, where it conducted full-scale market activations from Ejisu to Anloga Junction with support from local radio stations.

On Thursday, the float moved from Asafo to Adum and finally to Kejetia, announcing Zeepay’s presence in their town and signing locals onto Zeepay Mobile Money.

On Friday, they visited Suame, Banatama, and Abrepo with a crowing program at a local chop bar called “Efie Fufuo” where locals were invited for free fufu with the Zeepay activations team.

The 5-day event was climaxed by meeting the Asantehene at the Akwasidae celebration at Manhyia Palace during which Zeepay presented gifts to the Palace as custom demands.

The Asantehene recalled his relationship to the late Dr. Anthony Kwasi Appiah (Father to Andrew Takyi-Appiah), an old and dear friend of his and thanked the party for returning his lost son. Finally, he offered his blessings and support to Zeepay Mobile Money.
