Simple steps to link Ghana Card to GCB account

In the wake of long queues at the Banking Hall, the Management of the Ghana Commercial Bank has created an online portal where cherished customers can link the Ghana Card Number to their Bank Account.

Customers of one of the most patronized Banks in Ghana will not have to be physically present at the premise of any branch of the Bank to have their Ghana Card number linked to their Bank Account(s).

According to information available to GESHub.org, the Bank of Ghana has directed the various Banks to accept only the Ghana Card as the only recognized ID for all Bank transactions.

Follow these easy and simple steps outlined below to link your Ghana Card Number to your GCB Bank account online at the comfort of your home.

2. Click on ‘Link My Card’
3. Enter your GCB account number
4. Click ‘Continue’

For your verification to be successful, there are some recommended guidelines on the format the image (passport photo) to be taken at Step 10 should be.

Recommended passport photo format

1. The image should be a passport-sized photo, not a full picture
2. It should be taken off a plain white or of white background
3. It should be taken in full-face view, directly facing the front camera
4. You should take the passport photo with a neutral facial expression, with both eyes opened
5. Do not wear glasses when taking the photo
6. Do not wear a hat or head covering that will obscure your hair or hairline. This is because for a successful verification, your full face must be visible, and the head covering must not cast any shadows on your face.
7. Headphones, wireless hands-free devices, or similar items are not acceptable in your passport-sized photo.
8. Lastly, the image should be of good quality.
