eCurrency launches world's first ISO 20022 compliant CBDC-to-RTGS implementation

OAKLAND, Calif., May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- eCurrency Mint announced the successful productization of the world's first ISO 20022 messaging–compliant Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) interface, integrated with a Real‑Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) platform. The solution is now fully operational in Jamaica.

The deployment enables seamless interoperability between the eCurrency CBDC platform and RTGS system, supporting real‑time settlement, currency issuance, and lifecycle management using global messaging standards.

This milestone builds on eCurrency's June 2022 integration with Montran's RTGS platform, which established CBDC currency management and payment operations. The new release delivers a scalable, production‑ready solution for central banks.

CBDC issuance follows the same governance, security, and operational principles as physical currency and must integrate seamlessly with central bank payment and settlement systems. The RTGS system remains the core infrastructure for clearing and settlement and is critical to monetary and financial stability.

"Achieving full ISO 20022 compliance with the new messaging standard is a significant engineering milestone for eCurrency," said Eoin Drennan, VP Engineering at eCurrency. "This integration reflects our commitment to building resilient, standards-based infrastructure that enables central banks to operate CBDCs seamlessly within modern payment ecosystems, while ensuring scalability, interoperability, and real-time performance."

The successful live operation in Jamaica positions eCurrency as a leader in practical, global, standards‑based CBDC implementations and provides a proven reference model for other central banks evaluating digital currency deployments.
