The Central Bank of Barbados advises the public that its technical team continues to work to resolve the issue affecting the delivery of email codes required by some Gmail users to complete setup of the BiMPay e-wallet.
Since its last update, the Bank has implemented an interim solution, which has enabled the successful delivery of 1,500 registration codes by email today, Sunday, June 14. Users who have received their codes have been able to proceed with registration.
The Bank continues to build on this progress while working toward a more comprehensive and permanent solution to ensure that all affected users can complete registration without prolonged delay.
The Bank also advises that the BiMPay payment rail, the underlying infrastructure that powers interbank transfers, is operating. On Saturday, June 13, BiMPay processed approximately 12,000 transactions, with a total value of approximately $4 million.
The Governor of the Central Bank and other senior officials will hold a press conference tomorrow, Monday, June 15, at 9:30 a.m. to provide a comprehensive update on BiMPay and to take questions from the media and the online audience.
The press conference will be livestreamed on the Central Bank’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
The Central Bank thanks Barbadians for their patience and understanding and remains fully committed to ensuring that BiMPay is secure, reliable, and user-friendly.
