02

Financial Services Providers (FSPs)

Regulated financial services provider will facilitate CBDC adoption and deploy for their bespoke ecosystem a secure, integrated and interoperable infrastructure for CBDC & traditional Fiat currency processing at all times.

03

Merchants

Merchants play a crucial role in facilitating the CBDC infrastructure. The widespread acceptance of CBDC as a legitimate fiat currency largely depends on the willingness of merchants to accept it. Apart from accepting CBDC payments, merchants can also serve as authorized distributors of smart cards, top up CBDC smart cards, and exchange CBDC on smart cards for authorized cash. However, to be a part of this ecosystem, merchants must first be authorized by the central bank or an FSP and have the necessary technological infrastructure in place to be certified as an authorized CBDC-enabled merchant.

04

End-User

For CBDC to become a widely used alternative to cash, its ultimate success will rely on the adoption by end-users, such as consumers and small to medium-sized businesses, who will use it for small-scale transactions. These individuals and small businesses will utilize CBDC as a payment method to settle their daily monetary obligations, replacing the use of cash. To use CBDC, consumers will need to have access to a CBDC-enabled smart card or smartphone, which allows them to participate in the CBDC infrastructure and ecosystem. Payments made through these devices will be immediately debited from the buyer’s account and credited to the merchant’s account, and the same process applies for peer-to-peer payments.
