Progress update: The digital pound and the payments landscape
The Bank and HM Treasury are exploring the possibility of a digital pound - a digital complement to banknotes. It could offer households and businesses another way to make and receive payments, in step with an increasingly digital economy.
A digital pound, issued by the Bank of England, would be seamlessly exchangeable with cash and bank deposits, ensuring the continuity of a trusted, uniform and accessible means of payment. As a publicly provided platform, it could foster innovation by enabling a varied range of private sector firms to develop innovative and user-friendly services.
No decision has been made on whether to proceed with a digital pound. After completing the design phase over the next couple of years, including taking account of developments in the wider payments landscape, the Bank and Government will assess the policy case for a digital pound and determine whether or not to proceed. A digital pound would only be introduced with Parliament’s approval, requiring primary legislation. This legislation would safeguard users’ privacy, guaranteeing that neither the Bank nor the Government could access users’ personal information nor control how households and businesses use their money. Further public consultation would precede the introduction of primary legislation by the Government.
