The country's first digital RMB gas payment transaction landed in Changsha
What is Digital Yuan? The digital yuan is a legal tender currency in digital form issued by Chinese Min min bank, equivalent to banknotes and coins, with value characteristics and legal compensation, supporting controllable anonymity.
Since Changsha was officially approved as a digital rmb pilot city in November 2020, the Changsha Municipal People's Government and the Changsha Central Branch of the People's Bank of China have organized six pilot banking institutions, including CCB, Bank of China, ICBC, Postal Savings, Bank of Communications and Agricultural Bank of China, to carry out digital RMB pilots in various fields involving digital payment, inviting the general public to download digital RMB Apps, register wallets, and experience the convenience of digital RMB payment.
The first stop of the inspection came to Changsha Government Affairs Service Center. Li Mang, President of Bank of China Hunan Branch, introduced the characteristics and advantages of the digital yuan and elaborated on the great significance of embedding the function of the digital yuan into the people's livelihood payment scenario. The leaders attending the event experienced the convenient process of downloading the digital yuan app and registering the wallet, and used the functions of digital yuan redemption, transfer transaction and gas payment, which was also the first digital yuan gas payment transaction in China.
More authoritative and more secure Digital yuan can be "soft and hard"
Various forms of digital RMB wallets were displayed, such as badges, watches, bracelets and other wearable device wallets. According to the staff, the digital yuan not only has a mobile phone account "soft wallet", but also supports "hard wallet" payment. The "hard wallet" is basically similar to the current physical bank card, but there is a small electronic display on the card, which will show the amount and balance once the transaction is generated.
Leaving the Changsha Government Affairs Service Center, Zheng Jianxin and his party experienced the digital RMB offline payment function of vehicle refueling at the "first share of private gas stations" and the Shun Petroleum Waterfront Gas Station, and Zhang Shen, president of the Hunan Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, introduced and demonstrated the "touch" payment function of the digital RMB video card.
This event is not only a digital yuan "Mayor Experience Day", but also a "Citizen Experience Day". A citizen who went to the gas station to refuel opened the digital yuan APP and payment code and spent 200 yuan to complete the digital yuan offline payment. The reporter learned that this is also the first digital RMB gas station consumption transaction in the central city.
More than 3,400 merchants in Changsha currently support the digital yuan and will be extended to more areas in the future
On January 25, the government work report of the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress of Hunan Province proposed that it is necessary to do a good job in the Changsha digital yuan pilot.
As of February 2, Changsha has landed a total of 3,404 offline merchants that support digital yuan payment, realizing a variety of scenarios to support digital yuan transactions, including public payments such as party fees and gas, as well as some consumption scenarios involving residents' consumption, such as supermarkets, catering, long-distance passenger transport, and gas stations, as well as special scenarios such as postal express delivery and tourism.
In the future, the pilot scenario of the digital yuan will continue to expand and extend to more fields. In the next stage, the digital yuan pilot will be carried out in Changsha in depth, and more Changsha citizens will have the opportunity to experience digital yuan-related applications.
