NASSAU, Bahamas – The Digital Transformation Unit (DTU), says the Bahamian government’s MyGateway platform has generated US$3.6 million in revenue even as it processed US$25 million in exemptions.

“We applaud our 100,000 registered users, and acknowledge that they are integral to the success of MyGateway. Their enthusiasm and feedback over the past two years has enabled us to serve our youngest user group at 18 years old up to our oldest user, who is 100 years old.
“We are honored to serve Bahamians residing in over 30 countries, and the citizens of over 70 countries legally residing in The Bahamas,” the DTU said, adding that the Road Traffic Department has generated two million dollars in revenue using the site.
