As the European Central Bank (ECB), and Eurosystem begin looking for companies interested in participating in a prototype of customer-facing payments service, they will keep moving forward with the digital euro. Banks, payment service providers and other companies relevant were all invited to participate in the exercise. InvitedTo express your interest in this project, please see the announcement on Thursday.

Eurosystem is the ECB, the National Central Banks of the Euro-using Countries, and it stated that they will choose up to five front-end service providers based on their abilities and potential use cases. Although participants do not have to have any experience in prototyping the service, they can be considered if they have.
