Willemstad/Philipsburg:--- The digital payment system in the countries of Curaçao and Sint Maarten successfully switched to the Caribbean guilder during the night of March 31 to April 1, 2025. While the new currency was officially brought into circulation in both countries yesterday, the Caribbean guilder has now also been introduced for digital payment transactions. As of today, the currency code XCG applies to the new currency. Furthermore, the Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten confirms that all commercial banks have been reconnected to the payment systems.
A word of thanks goes out to the commercial banks for their efforts and dedication which have contributed greatly to a seamless transition.
