France Cards & Payments Sector Investigated by Timetric in New Market Research Study Available at MarketPublishers.com

22 Feb 2016 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – The payment cards market in France has witnessed the adoption of contactless technology. The number of contactless payments increased speedily to reach 21.9 million in 2015, recording an overwhelming increase of 218% over the same period last year. For that matter, banks and telecommunications carriers are launching contactless mobile payment services. Thus, the country’s banking group Credit Mutuel in cooperation with m-payment solution provider Airtag introduced its Credit Mutuel-CIC app in November 2015.

In spite of the availability of secure online payment solutions – Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code, online card fraud surged over the period 2010–2014. Card-not-present (CNP) fraud captured the largest share (just under 63.5%) of the overall fraud registered as of 2014. To curb this, the French banks are testing a new technology termed ‘motion code’ solution, under which the 3-digit CVV security code located on the back of the card is substituted with a mini-screen displaying a code that automatically changes at fixed intervals. The two banks, BCPE Group and BNP Paribas, have chosen Oberthur Technologies' OT Motion Code solution to pilot cards with mini-screen security codes during 2016. This additional security is poised to reduce the likelihood of card being fraudulently used for transactions performed online.
