Almaviva Group and Fabrick, a Sella Group company active in Open Finance at an international level, have been selected by the European Central Bank (ECB) to develop the mobile app that will facilitate European citizens to use the Digital Euro.
The App, designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, will be accessible via smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch, offering all Euro area citizens a uniform and secure experience for digital payments
The official Digital Euro App is meant to be identical for all Euro area Countries and can be used for electronic payments in physical stores, online, or between individuals, ensuring a simple, secure, and accessible experience for everyone.
Moreover, thanks to the implementation of sìa software development kit (SDK) and dedicated interfaces, European payment service providers will be able to smoothly integrate their services with the Digital Euro platform..
This approach will support widespread adoption of the new payment solution and foster innovation throughout the payments ecosystem, strengthening Europe’s technological autonomy.
The Digital Euro is intended to make payments simpler, safer, and more accessible, complementing cash and reinforcing financial inclusion across the Euro area.
The EU digital currency represents a further step toward European cohesion, strengthening the strategic autonomy and monetary sovereignty of the Euro area, improving the efficiency of the entire payments ecosystem, promoting innovation, and increasing resilience against cyberattacks or possible technical disruptions.
