currency.\u00a0 In responding to a myriad of questions from the audience, they advanced that DCash will revelutionize the ECCU through three main strategies: payment system efficiency, financial inclusion by digital enablement and promoting innovation and competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt ECAB. we are beginning to see more interest in the many benefits of DCash since its launch a few weeks ago. We see it as providing added value to our customers by offering a faster, safer, cheaper, contactless method of payment.\u201d said Samantha Anthony-Gore of ECAB.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith DCash, customers now have a range of options to conduct transactions. Payments are made easier as customers can access cash from the DCash wallet, via an app which can be downloaded, customer registers at a financial institution or approved service provider, or the customer can convert funds from a bank account to DCash via online\/mobile banking, or cashing in physicial notes and coins for DCash,\u201d said Kieran St. Omer of the ECCB.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDCash is part of a digital revolution and a departure from the traditional model of monetary exchange. It will facilitate people-to-people, people-to-business and business-to-business transfers of value, in a way that was previously not possible. It is extremely safe and will transcend national borders and redefine the ways in which payments and user\u2019s data interact,\u201d said Omari Frederick of Bank of Saint Lucia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue of digital currency is very new and there are many implications for how it will affect business and consumer choices for financial services, the user experience and privacy.\u00a0 There are so many knowledge gaps to be filled and at SFCG, we believe that everyone should have access to information and advice to make the best financial decisions. As the use of DCash continues to grow, we want to help clients overcome big financial hurdles, by taking small steps, through professional guidance and informed decisions,\u201d said Megan Samuel-Fields, CEO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As many question whether the dollar might face real competition as the world\u2019s dominant currency, this free educational forum was designed to improve financial literacy by empowering citizens and residents to make smarter decisions about how they save, spend, invest and protect their money.\u00a0 As a Community Learning Partner, SamuelFlelds Consulting is committed to providing hands-on advice to encourage individuals and businesses to build smart financial habits, develop strategies to maintain financial stability and safeguard against negative financial effects, especially during this time of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About SamuelFields Consulting Group (SFCG)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located in Antigua and Barbua, SFCG helps individuals, business owners, managers and professional organizations throughout the Caribbean, succeed in an ever-changing business environment.
