## Source summary

The initiative forms part of a broader effort to preserve continuity of card payments, salary transfers, and money transfers during extreme disruption scenarios. The DEB proposal is central to Danmarks Nationalbank's Emergency Preparedness for Critical Financial Sector Activities in Extreme Scenarios (EP-CFSA-ES) plan, announced in December 2025.

## Why it matters

The proposal is a national payment-resilience measure covering card payments, salary transfers, and money transfers during extreme disruption. It is useful as an operational-continuity benchmark, but it does not itself create a new cross-border corridor or settlement capability.
