Partnerships are rising to develop digital instant prepaid gift card solution
The French e-commerce industry provided an impetus to the usage of gift cards among customers. Consequently, the payment service providers and digital gift card providers are collaborating to provide innovative product solutions to attract more customers.
In April 2021, payment services provider, Nets and gift card provider, Gifted, are collaborating to introduce a digital prepaid gift card solution in France.
With this new offering, consumers can instantly receive the single-use gift card in their wallet.
Moreover, the merchant customers can also integrate these cards into their regular payments system.
The publisher expects that this new innovative solution is convenient for consumers, but the merchants can also quickly onboard these gift cards into their platform. Therefore, the partnership is expected to capture a more extensive customer base in the short to medium term.
Regional transit authority is targeting to issue mobile ticketing service
With the rising need for contactless payments amidst the pandemic, government authorities are introducing mobile ticketing solutions through technology providers.
In October 2021, the Paris transit authority, IDFM, has decided to introduce the digital version of its Navigo transit card with mobile ticketing solution on Android phones, using HCE technology.
The transit authority is responsible for the management of public transportation such as metro, buses, trains, and trams in the Paris region and also looks after the Navigo fare-collection program.
Notably, the fare cards technology used in the Navigo cards is managed by Calypso Networks Association.
The publisher expects that with the integration of mobile ticketing solutions in the Navigo Cards, more Android users will be able to access these cards, resulting in higher usage of the transit cards in the next four to six quarters.
Western Union partnered with Linxo to launch digital money transfers
In June 2021, Western Union collaborated with France-based budget management and bank account aggregation application, Linxo to enable the Western Union app users to make local and cross-border payments.
The Linxo customers can also use the platform to manage money transfers.
The users can transfer funds through the Western Union bank account or can use the card. Also, this platform can be used to have their funds paid out into several bank accounts and mobile wallets.
