欧洲央行公布了数字欧元应用的无障碍功能设计方案[1]。该应用的设计将超越欧洲无障碍法及相关标准EN 301 549的要求[1]，并采用最高级别的网页内容无障碍指南标准[1]。
应用将包含多项功能以确保所有使用者的便利性，包括增强视觉设计、全键盘导航、屏幕阅读器支持、超时警告、简化语言、错误防止和减少运动设置等[1]。欧洲央行执行委员会成员皮埃罗·齐波莱内（Piero Cipollone）表示："像现金一样，数字欧元将是一项公共商品，在数字时代，每个欧洲人都应该能够平等地获取它"[1]。
数字欧元应用将在2027年启动的试点期间进行可用性和无障碍测试[1]。测试将与残障人士协作与社会包容基金会（ONCE基金会）成员以及欧洲央行和19个国家央行员工合作进行[1]。
The European Central Bank has unveiled accessibility features for its digital euro application, committing to standards that exceed those required by European accessibility legislation. [1] The app will incorporate the highest level of web content accessibility guidelines and will include enhanced visual design, full keyboard navigation, screen reader support, timeout warnings, simplified language, error prevention, and reduced motion settings.

ECB Governing Council member Piero Cipollone stated that "like cash, the digital euro will be a public good, and in the digital age, every European should be able to access it equally." [1] The accessibility testing will take place during the digital euro pilot phase launching in 2027 and will be conducted in collaboration with members of the ONCE Foundation, a disability rights organization, as well as staff from the ECB and the central banks of the 19 eurozone member states.
