The FORUS Digital Exchange launches on 1 February 2021 out of New Zealand, as the last pillar in the FORUS financial ecosystem crafted over 11 years: from the creation of the wallet, public utility blockchain, and the S-QR standard, to the creation of the African Wealth Fund,  MahalaX – the FORUS equity token, and the FORUS Foundation.

FORUS Digital is rolling out financial market infrastructure based on distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable the migration of the current financial sector ecosystem onto new systems in an orderly fashion. FORUS Digital’s digital payments system competes directly with Visa, Mastercard, Libra and legacy banking systems, by giving users an e-wallet levying zero transaction fees. Investing in economies using a central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC), Electronic Legal Tender (ELT) or fiat-backed stable coin, FORUS Digital has established global partnerships with large member organisations comprising over 100 million users.
