I thought it was a widely adopted standard to store monetary amounts with the currencies smallest denomination . Stripe uses this exclusively! What did i miss ?
They were storing balances in kobos. 😆
I asked, "If a customer has 1 trillion, how will you represent it in the database?"
That becomes 100 trillion kobos.
Then comes the real question: How are you handling overflow?
I sincerely hope that when I am old and looking back on my life, I will not regret choosing not to pursue greener pastures abroad.
I have placed a heavy bet on Ghana—on its people, its potential, and its future. I have chosen to build, invest, and create opportunities here rather than seek them elsewhere.
Some days, that decision feels rewarding. Other days, it feels like a gamble. But I remain hopeful that the sacrifices, patience, and faith will one day be worth it.
I only hope that years from now, I can look back with pride and say it was the right choice.
