People’s Bank of China (PBoC) Testing Digital Yuan (DCEP) for Credit Card Payments

2020-9-24 05:17

China has been aggressively developing its central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC), popularly known as digital yuan. As per the latest reports, the People's Bank of China is currently running a pilot project to test the use cases of its digital yuan for card payments, fees, credit card payments, and more.

China has been at the forefront of developing a national digital currency called DCEP. The government authorized the research for the project more than five years ago, and many people were speculating for an official launch by September last year. However, digital yuan was eventually made public at the start of 2020, and the PBOC jas been testing various use case for the digital currency ever since.

The first pilot program for DCEP saw it being used as a travel subsidy for government employees in 4 cities. Later the pilot program was expanded to several universal fast food and beverage companies operating in China, which included Starbucks and McDonald's as well.

Chinese Central Bank Tests Final Use Case for DCEP

As per a report published in the local daily 8BTC, the PBOC is currently testing digital yuans use a case in the credit card ecosystem as it could be a key to bringing in more customers. The trials in the credit card domain are also being seen as the final trial before the much anticipated public launch.

The central bank also revealed three new pilot-free trade zones (FTZ), in addition to the one already functioning in the Zhejiang province. These free trade zones are key to China's dream of becoming a blockchain hub for enterprises.

The central bank of China also announced three large innovation trial projects, namely the National Small and Micro Enterprise Digital Credit Reporting Pilot, Digital Currency, and Financial Technology Innovation supervision.

While most of the countries have shown interest in researching and developing their own national digital currency (besides Australia), China managed to complete the research and development of its national yuan quietly and is slated to become the first country to launch its own digital currency. It is also important to note that while the national yuan project is being propagated as one of the true CBDCs, but many have warned that digital yuan would not work on a decentralized blockchain. Rather it is a sophisticated way for the government to control the flow of money outside the country.

Whether the project turns out to be what many are speculating, it would be interesting to see how digital currency is rolled out for the world's most populated country.
