NGI TALER is a project funded by the European Commission and the Swiss State to roll out a new electronic payment system - GNU Taler, that benefits everyone: people, merchants, banks, financial authorities, auditors and anti-corruption researchers.

GNU Taler provides privacy guarantees to the buyer while offering the possibility to audit merchants, making sale incomes transparent and fraud difficult. To online merchants and retailers, GNU Taler offers instant transaction clearance without risks of fake payment methods. Computations needed to clear the payments are efficient and scalable so that banks can pass on lower transaction costs to consumers and merchants. Consumers can withdraw money from their existing bank account into their GNU Taler wallet, detaching their spending habits from scrutiny, in the way cash does.

We are seeking project proposals between 5.000 and 50.000 euro's — if the project works out well you can subsequently scale up in other programs funded by NLnet such as NGI0 Core.
