Creditcards & Debitcards

Cartes Bancaires, safe and easy online payments

If you want your French customers to pay securely, Cartes Bancaires is the perfect payment method. It is a local French bank card that can be linked to either Visa or Mastercard (debit and credit) depending on the bank.

The Cartes Bancaires network uses a closed French infrastructure managed and controlled by GIE Cartes Bancaires. This structure differs from many other countries, where credit card transactions are handled via the Visa and Mastercard international networks.

How does Cartes Bancaires work?

Cartes Bancaires allows both credit and debit card payments, with the payment process being similar to other credit card payment methods. Via the Buckaroo Payment Plaza (personal online dashboard), you have the option to (partially or fully) refund the amount to the payer's card.
