Public events in Forlì focus on digital euro and payment security
Banca d'Italia hosts a two-day public initiative on financial education and secure payments in Forlì on September 22-23, 2026. The program explores digital euro prospects and fraud prevention tools.
From currency evolution to digital euro
The initiative opens on Tuesday, September 22, at 5:30 p.m. at the former Church of San Giacomo with a panel examining the evolution of payment instruments, sector innovations and the digital euro.
The session features a round table bringing together experts from academia, regulatory institutions and the payments industry.
On Wednesday, September 23, the Forlì branch hosts an open day alongside a dedicated session at 3:00 p.m. addressing electronic payment fraud.
This meeting examines major digital fraud risks while outlining prevention mechanisms and protection tools for consumers navigating increasingly digital financial channels.
Festival integration and public outreach
The sessions form part of the nationwide “In viaggio con Banca d’Italia” tour and are integrated into the regional Festival del Buon Vivere.
All scheduled events at the former Church of San Giacomo and the local branch are accessible to the public free of charge, subject to seating availability.
Through direct regional engagement, the initiative aims to strengthen everyday financial literacy as electronic payment adoption and retail banking digitalization continue to expand.
Pragmatic outreach with local limits
Regional financial education initiatives provide practical fraud defense at the grassroots level.
However, two-day town halls cannot offset systemic consumer protection deficits across digital banking.
Without continuous nationwide literacy programs, the long-term impact on payment security will remain marginal.
