Ghana Home Loans ("GHL") is a mortgage finance institution which operates under Bank of Ghana supervision as a non-bank financial institution.

Ghana Home Loan's key objective is to leverage information technology and modern mortgage finance techniques to consistently provide our clients with competitively priced long term mortgage finance to facilitate home ownership.
