In the swift currents of global digitalisation propelled by Blockchain technology, companies are pivoting towards innovation, progress, and competitiveness. Tokenising business operations has emerged as a strategy through the issuance of coins via ICOs, STOs, and IEOs to enhance customer relationships to scale up sales as well as potentially expand their future products or services.
E-commerce platforms have also leveraged this technology to create their own virtual coins or tokens. For example, Grab’s issuance of GrabRewards points to users for online purchases, in exchange for rewards and discounts which can be used at a later time. Similarly, Shopee offers Shopee coins, earned through purchases or in-app games, allowing users to use them for discounts during checkout or in exchange for vouchers.
Illustrated through these instances, the Credit Token License can be coupled with the Payment System, allowing the credit token business to engage with the facilities of an e-wallet, such as balance checking, transaction details, top-ups, and card linking.
For companies venturing into the digital spaces of fintech and blockchain, the Labuan Jurisdiction offers Labuan Credit Token License. This license allows companies to legally issue utility tokens to the global market, positioning them at the forefront of the dynamic intersection between technology and finance.
A credit token business is any business where a token, being a cheque, card, voucher, stamp, booklet, coupon, form or other document is given or issued to a person (customer) by the person carrying on the business (issuer).
An issuer undertakes the following: –
The use of a token to operate a machine provided by the issuer or a third party shall be regarded as the production of a token to the person providing the machine.
