Ulaanbaatar, May 20, 2020 - ArdCredit (MSE:ADB) received its digital currency license from the Bank of Mongolia in accordance with the Law on Central Bank and the Law on the National Payment System of Mongolia, giving birth to ArdCash.
ArdCash is a digital currency that will be used to make payments and settlements through ArdApp, a mobile application introduced by Ard Financial Group, parent company of Ard Credit. Stored electronically and backed by cash, ArdCash is freely convertible into MNT and vice versa. Hence, Ard App’s half million registered users will have access to the full suite of services such as online loans, securities’ trading, online shopping, money transfers, payments, etc. provided through this unique super app.
“First of all, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Mongolbank for supporting our efforts on behalf of shareholders, employees and management of Ard Credit.” stated Mr. Telmen Gerelt, CEO of Ard Credit. “With the introduction of ArdCash to the market, people will have more opportunities to take advantage of new forms of financial services. This will stimulate competition in the banking sector, reduce the cost of delivery of financial services, and enable us to expand our services to local communities in remote areas with limited access to banking services as well as the Mongolian diaspora abroad.”
This digital currency license does not apply to ArdCoin, Ard Financial Group’s blockchain based loyalty program integrated into its app.
