Digital Euro App Pledges High Accessibility Standards
The European Central Bank (ECB) has announced that the future digital euro app will be developed to meet the highest accessibility standards. This commitment aims to ensure that people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with limited digital skills can use the digital currency easily. The ECB is working with user associations and accessibility experts to incorporate these features from the earliest design stages. This move is part of the broader effort to make the potential digital euro a public good, available and usable for all citizens in the euro area.
The future digital euro is being designed to be user-friendly for everyone, including those with disabilities.
