Setefi, the Intesa Sanpaolo group company specialized in payment systems, has joined the French circuit 'Cartes Bancaires', which in 2012 managed transactions for over 480 billion euros and which has over 60 million cards worldwide. Intesa San Paolo communicates it.
Setefi, according to a note, is the first Italian company to join the small number of 'principal members' of 'Cartes Bancaires'. "With this strategic choice, the company, which is already the domestic leader in the sector, will strengthen its competitive capacity on the foreign market".
The first to benefit from the agreement will be the major Italian 'Made in Italy' brands operating in France with POS Setefi, which will be able to accept payments on the 'Cartes Bancaires' circuit. The French who go to Italy for tourism or work will also be favoured. Holders of cards belonging to the 'Cartes Bancaires' circuit will in fact be able to pay easily and in complete safety for their purchases at shops with POS Setefi.
