“If we want the digital Euro to become a success, we need a clear and convincing narrative of why we need it in the first place. People need to see the benefits of a digital Euro in their day-to-day lives. The European Central Bank and the European Commission have yet to make a compelling case of why we need the digital Euro and what added value it will deliver,” explained Markus Ferber MEP, the EPP Group Spokesman in the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee.

      It’s important to note that Maestro was just killed off by Mastercard. So now you’ll need a Visa or Mastercard Debit Card. Which is probably one of the reasons why the EU would like a system that isn’t dependant on these two US companies.
