Join the digital euro front-end prototyping exercise

28 April 2022

The digital euro investigation phase is moving forward with an exercise to explore user interface solutions for making payments with digital euro.

The ECB has launched a call for expression of interest for payment service providers, banks and other relevant companies to join an exercise to develop prototype user interfaces. Selected front-end providers will form a pool of providers with which the ECB can collaborate on the development of prototypes that address specific use cases for the payment process.

The prototyping exercise will begin with an information session in June to discuss specific expectations for the project, including use cases.

To participate in the call for interest, front-end providers should fill in and send a questionnaire on their capabilities to digitaleuro-procurement@ecb.europa.eu by 20 May 2022, 17:00 CEST. All essential capabilities must be fulfilled, whereas specific capabilities are not considered mandatory.

Please see the call for expression of interest for further details of the application process and the Q&A document compiling key questions asked by applicants to the call.
