The European Central Bank (ECB) has unveiled the design of its digital euro app, emphasizing accessibility features.

The app will feature screen reader support, keyboard navigation, simplified language, transaction timeout alerts, and other enhanced features that go beyond the requirements of the European Accessibility Act.

This announcement marks a significant step in the development of the digital euro pilot, which is scheduled to commence in 2027. The testing phase will allow the ECB to gather feedback on the app's usability and make necessary improvements.
