InterFund Solutions Spotlight Podcast: How CBDCs work

Interview

Central banks worldwide are exploring the launch of new forms of digital money. However, to many end consumers, the concept of a CBDC is still unknown. In our Spotlight podcast, we talk to Tanja Hessdörfer, Head of Sales for CBDC at InterFund Solutions. She explains how CBDCs work, why you don’t need internet access to use them and how European citizens could benefit from a digital euro.

In October 2023, the European Central Bank (ECB) will decide whether to launch a preparation phase to develop and test a Digital Euro. That makes the ECB part of a larger, global trend: around the world, more than 100 countries are already exploring a central bank digital currency (CBDC). But at the same time, many end consumers either haven’t heard of CBDC – or struggle to identify the benefits of a CBDC for their personal life.

In our InterFund Solutions Spotlight Podcast, we talk to Tanja Hessdörfer, Head of Sales and Business Development CBDC at InterFund Solutions. As InterFund Solutions is already piloting CBDC in several countries, she has the answers on the most urgent questions: what’s in it for the end consumer? Will a CBDC replace cash? Do I need online access? And what about data privacy?

Have fun listening to the podcast!
