Bahamas implements Sand Dollar digital currency

Bahamian residents will now be able to pay for government services with the new digital Sand Dollars.
 
The Central Bank's Sand Dollar implementation has reached a new milestone for the government's digital transformation after a successful round of testing as a form of payment within the Bahamas Digital Payment Platform, also known as DigiPay.
 
The country's global-leading digital currency was used as payment for a character certificate this week and passed all phases of the testing without incident.
 
As a result, the government and the Central Bank will begin integrating other agencies throughout the government into the Sand Dollar ecosystem.
