Recommendation 6

6 Paragraph: 47

Concern about misuse of consumer data by digital pound wallet providers for commercial purposes.

Conclusion
We are also concerned about potential misuse of consumers’ data by the user-facing firms that would manage consumers’ digital pound wallets, particularly given that the commercial use of this data could form a key part of the business model for wallet providers, in a way that it doesn’t for banks.
