To unlock the full potential of digital payments as a strategic asset, the EU must adopt a future-ready payments policy framework – one that reflects its ambition for economic sovereignty, sustainable economic growth, and technological leadership.

Such a framework must:

Broaden access to digital payments

for businesses and citizens – especially micro-enterprises, SMEs, and vulnerable groups – by reducing administrative burdens and enabling seamless participation in the digital economy.

Champion European-led innovation

by empowering Europe’s homegrown payments sector to lead in developing more secure, efficient, and sustainable solutions. Innovation must be nurtured within Europe to secure its autonomy.

Support the completion of the Single Market

a truly integrated payments ecosystem, where fair competition thrives, is essential to unlocking growth. Completing the Digital Single Market is foundational to Europe’s economic independence.
