The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank this afternoon held a regional media event marking the public roll-out of the digital currency DCash.
DCash is said to be a securely-minted digital version of the Eastern Caribbean dollar, issued by the ECCB.
Effective today consumers and merchants can sign up to use DCash, through participating financial institutions, or by downloading the DCash App from the Google Play or Apple Store.
Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, Timothy Antoine, at the launch this afternoon, says the ECCB is pleased to have rolled out its digital currency.
The ECCB Governor says the pilot project will run for 12 months and not six, as it was previously announced, and it will include an E-commerce portal.
