Most Europeans expect the upcoming digital euro to be secure, easy to use, and free of charge, according to a new survey by the European Consumers Organization (BEUC). The poll gathered responses from more than 10,000 consumers across 10 eurozone countries.
If a new digital payment method, such as the digital euro, were to be introduced in Europe, the majority of consumers (86% of adults) said that they would be at least somewhat concerned about not being able to get their money back in the event of fraud or scams. Furthermore, 87% said that paying digitally should be free for consumers.
