The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) has implemented the basic infrastructure for Instant Payments (IP). With this introduction the CBCS is one of the first financial institutions to make use of a dual currency system for Instant Payments. This means that now interbank transactions made with both Netherlands Antillean guilders and US-dollars are processed within just a few seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
