Conversely, they could convert digital euro into cash or into private money (“defunding”).
A seamless funding and defunding experience is essential to support the successful uptake of the digital euro; the ease with which such functionalities could be used would significantly affect end users’ willingness to adopt a digital euro and to use it over time.
The set of funding and defunding functionalities to be offered by supervised intermediaries would need to ensure a common baseline end user experience, irrespective of the supervised intermediary that provides them with the digital euro."
