The European Central Bank secured key parliamentary backing on Tuesday for the launch of a digital euro, an electronic means of payments aimed at making the euro zone less reliant on U.S. credit cards at a time of fraying transatlantic relationships. The digital euro, essentially an electronic wallet guaranteed by the central bank but marketed by banks or fintech companies, will allow all euro zone residents to make payments online and in person.

Initially reached in November, the settlement would give merchants more flexibility to reject certain credit cards and would mandate lowering swipe fees over multiple years.
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a settlement between the card networks and 12 million merchants over card-swipe fees is fair and reasonable.
