According to Foresight News , the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced that it is recruiting experts to participate in two working groups to support the further development of a rulebook for the digital euro scheme. These working groups will cover implementation guidelines for ATM and terminal providers, as well as a certification and approval framework for payment solutions. Eligible candidates can apply before April 10, 2026.
The European Central Bank (ECB) stated that one working group will focus on developing implementation guidelines for ATM and terminal providers, covering communication technologies, offline functionality, and the reuse of existing payment standards. A second working group will propose testing, certification, and approval processes for payment solutions and infrastructure used by payment service providers within the digital euro ecosystem. The ECB has previously outlined plans to begin selecting EU-licensed payment service providers (PSPs) before launching a 12-month digital euro pilot project in the second half of 2027.
