Absa Bank Ghana LTD has joined forces with Seso Global, a leading digital property marketplace, and T.A. Braithwaite, a specialist insurance brokerage firm, to make it easier for Ghanaians living abroad to own homes in Ghana. This partnership addresses the longstanding challenges faced by the Ghanaian diaspora, including limited access to reliable mortgage products, difficulty navigating property purchases from abroad, and concerns around investment security.
The Partnership
By combining Absa’s robust banking infrastructure, Seso Global’s proptech capabilities, and T.A. Braithwaite’s risk management expertise, the collaboration offers a secure and simplified pathway to property ownership in Ghana. Eligible applicants can access mortgage financing of up to GHS 5,000,000 or 80% of a property’s value, depending on income and credit assessments.
Benefits for Ghanaians Abroad
This initiative provides a comprehensive range of financial services tailored to the needs of customers living overseas. These include:
Flexible Current and Savings Accounts: Manage your finances easily
Fixed Deposit Investment Options: Competitive and negotiable rates
Insurance Plans: Support dependents’ education and funeral needs
Absa’s Signature and Infinite Cards: Global travel and lifestyle privileges
How it Works
The partnership integrates digital property listings, secure financing, and comprehensive insurance cover to support every stage of the diaspora investment process. Verified listings, simplified application processes, and remote transaction monitoring reduce the need for frequent travel and mitigate the risk of fraud.
What the Partners Say
“We have spent years listening to Ghanaians abroad. For many, owning a home in Ghana is a deeply personal goal,” said Charles Addo, Retail Banking Director at Absa Bank Ghana LTD. Kweku Essien, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Seso Global, added that this partnership is a “game changer” that will accelerate Ghana’s real estate industry growth. Des Braithwaite, Director Africa Diaspora Business at T.A. Braithwaite, emphasized the importance of seamless mortgage origination and protection processes.
