Ginger Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of DBS Bank (China) said, “We received strong interest from several clients for the solution since its launch, and we are pleased to have completed the first e-CNY collection for a client – a catering company in Shenzhen.”
One of the key benefits of the solution is the seamless and efficient collection of crypto payments in the form of e-CNY at DBS Bank. With this tool, businesses no longer need to rely on manual settlement processes, saving time and resources. Additionally, the automated settlement feature ensures that e-CNY payments are directly deposited into the corporate clients’ CNY bank accounts, streamlining the entire transaction process.
