ATMs Will Work With a Smartphone App
According to SZ News, the service is part of the ongoing second wireless yuan trial, comprising of a donation of 200 yuan ($31) to 100,000 people.
The ATMs allow digital yuan to be deposited and withdrawn through a smartphone app. The Pilot Smartphone App helps consumers to transfer cash and savings to and from tokens.
As the digital Yuan pilot projects continue to run throughout the world, it is no wonder that the ABC is testing the digital Yuan ATMs. Indeed, the bank is a partner of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC).
Zou Hua, manager of the Digital Yuan Innovation Lab bank, commented on the implementation of ATM infrastructure across Shenzhen:
Agricultural Bank has taken the lead in launching the ATM cash deposit and withdrawal function in the industry to guide Shenzhen residents to adapt to the digitization of cash and explore service transformation.

In addition, local experts report good progress from the automated yuan tests in the region. A statement by Song Qinghuim, a local economist quoted by SZ News, reads as follows:
