John Kiff on 29 Nov 23The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI) started a retail CBDC ("Bokolo Cash") proof-of-concept (PoC) on November 1, 2023. The CBSI has been testing the Soramitsu-provided system for domestic and foreign payments, including simulated international remittances. Within the PoC, users will be able to seamlessly scan a QR code with their Bokolo Cash wallet to send instant cash payments to selected merchants or make peer-to-peer transfers.
