Will people make offline payments with the Digital Euro?
Episode description
The current proposals for the Digital Euro include the facility to make payments completely offline. But why is this feature important? How will it be implemented? And how can the challenges of usability, anonymity, and preventing fraud be addressed? We find out from two people closely involved in the prototyping of offline payments: Sylvain Fourny (Portfolio Manager for Digital Banking at Worldline) and Ramuntcho Goyenetche (CBDC Delivery Manager at Worldline).
