GNU Taler is an open protocol for an electronic payment system with a

and easy payment processing using well understood cryptographic
techniques. GNU Taler allows customers to remain anonymous, while
ensuring that merchants can be held accountable by governments. Hence,
GNU Taler is compatible with anti-money-laundering (AML) and
know-your-customer (KYC) regulation, as well as data protection
regulation (such as GDPR).
