Natixis Payments uses nexo standards to support merchants in the new European payment landscape
Natixis Payments has opted for the free, universally applicable international payment acceptance standards from nexo standards, which ensure card payment and mobile payment interoperability, for both traditional card and contactless transactions.
These standards have now been included in the acceptance platform used by Carrefour, a global leader and the reference in food retail. Meanwhile, nexo standards also enable Natixis Payments to more easily and swiftly design new innovative services, as an in-flight mobile device/tablet payment service for airlines.
“This move confirms Natixis Payments’ position as a key player in designing the new European payment services landscape for merchants, as we seek to support them in addressing the challenges of today’s world i.e. productivity gains, data access, international expansion and improved service quality for both merchants and consumers” explains Jean-Luc Thérond, deputy CEO of Natixis Payments and member of the nexo standards board.
Natixis Payments is a Principal member of the nexo standards association and plays an active role in adopting and implementing these international standards.
