\u201cThe possible introduction of a digital euro would give consumers the option of paying with central bank money wherever electronic payment is accepted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Valimaki, the Bank of Finland and the European Payments Council \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>are also contributing to developing a solution for rapid payments in Finland. This payment solution will rely on credit transfer rather than payment card rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
