Visa Europe and its member banks have commenced a contactless payments pilot in Strasbourg.

Partner banks include Banque Edel, BNP Paribas, Banque Postale, Banque Populaire d’Alsace et Caisse d’Epargne d’Alsace (Groupe BPCE), Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel-CIC, HSBC and LCL et Société Générale.

This makes Strasbourg France’s second "capital" for contactless technology, following a roll-out in Nice last year. "Visa Europe and the member banks involved in this trial are proud to be taking part in this next step towards the large-scale deployment of contactless technology in France. Within a few years, everyone in France will be able to benefit from this technology,” says Gérard Nebouy, managing director, Visa Europe France.
