The Agricultural Bank of China, one of the biggest banks in the country, has recently kicked off the testing of ATMs that would allow customers to convert their cash into digital yuans, according to a report by SZNews on Jan 10. These ATMs can be found in selected parts of Shenzhen.

Digital Yuan ATM is Part of Shenzhen’s Second CBDC Testing Efforts 

The new digital yuan ATMs are part of the Chinese government’s efforts in testing the efficacy of the virtual currency.

As stated in the report, the bank also announced the launch of a “Digital Yuan Innovation Lab” which was saddled with creating innovative applications that would lead to the seamless use of digital yuan. Furthermore, the Chinese government had also run a third test (second in Shenzhen) of the digital RMB.
