Aiming to answer the growing customer demands and to modernize digital payments in France, STET, as the largest European retail payment system by volume and value, and the Security tech company Giesecke and Devrient (G+D), have partnered to introduce the globally established G+D Netcetera Click to Pay SRC System in France.

Régis Folbaum, CEO of STET, declared:

This innovative approach, set to launch in 2026, combines expertise and real-time tokenization with robust merchant integration capabilities to ensure secure and seamless transactions for French cardholders. It is tailored to the French co-badging environment, aligning with local payment preferences and supporting the leading domestic card scheme, Cartes Bancaires, which has the biggest market share among card payments.

The Click to Pay system addresses consumer concerns about online payment security by leveraging EMVCo standards, which are critical for driving e-commerce adoption. It enhances the user experience with a seamless one-click payment process, reducing cart abandonment rates and boosting merchant conversion rates. This solution also supports France’s strategic goal of fostering trust among consumers and businesses.

On this occasion, Philippe Delanoue, CEO of G+D France, said:

Based on G+D Netcetera’s market feedback, the seamless, one-click payment process could lower fraud risks by 3 times, increase authorization rates by 4%, and has proven to boost merchant conversion rates by 7%.

The system allows cardholders to access multiple saved cards through a single interface, streamlining the checkout process across various devices and platforms.

As mobile shopping grows in France, the Click to Pay solution will complement this trend by providing a secure and user-friendly option for mobile transactions, further driving e-commerce growth.
