Wondered why all the banks are disappearing from the High Street?

What's the current status of the Digital Euro? Can I buy Digital Euro?

Currently, the Digital Euro has not been launched - though there are signs that a launch may be coming sooner rather than later. By October 2025, the ECB has indicated a second phase of the preparation for the Digital Euro. By then, the ECB will have prepared an outreach plan, procurement standards, and technology providers. Currently, the Digital Euro is in the preparation phase, and nobody can buy or access it. The project has already started handing out private contracts worth over a billion Euros sourcing private vendors to help build the system up though.
