HM Treasury and the Bank of England are consulting on a potential digital pound, or central bank digital currency (CBDC).
If introduced, a digital pound would be issued by the Bank of England and could be used by households and businesses for everyday payments in-store and online. It would also be interchangeable with cash and bank deposits, complementing cash.
