| |
| | |
| :"A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) [in the UK] would allow households and businesses to directly make electronic payments using money issued by the Bank of England.
| |
| | |
| :We have not yet made a decision on whether to introduce CBDC.
| |
| | |
| :The Bank [of England] provides physical money in the form of banknotes, which can be used by households and businesses to make payments.
| |
| | |
| :We also provide electronic money, but this can only be used by banks and selected financial institutions.
| |
| | |
| | |
| :A Central Bank Digital Currency would make electronic money, issued by the Bank of England, available to all households and businesses.
| |
| | |
| :This would allow everyone to make electronic payments in central bank money.
| |
| | |
| :... CBDC is sometimes thought of as equivalent to a digital banknote, although in some respects it may have as much in common with a bank deposit.
| |
| | |
| :Any CBDC would be introduced alongside – rather than replacing – cash and bank deposits."

| :<span style="color:#4B0082">'''''Improving cross-border payments'''''</span>

| :<span style="color:#4B0082">'''''Supporting new technologies'''''</span>
| |
| | |
| :"The introduction of a [UK] Central Bank Digital Currency would be a significant development which could help support the adoption of new technologies (e.g. blockchain) in financial services.
| |
| | |
| :There is concern that retail CBDC could lead to increased data being held on the consumer. One option would be to follow the proof of concept developed by the European System of Central Banks, which explored allowing users to remain anonymous for low value transactions, but still maintaining AML/CTF checks for larger transactions, and ensuring that identity and transaction history were not available to central banks or the intermediaries."
