Ingenico
Group (Euronext: FR0000125346-ING), the
global leader in seamless payment, in partnership with
Think&Go, leader in connected screens, is deploying the first
connected screen integrating contactless multi-payment features.
This innovation, transforming a screen into a true multi-merchant
point-of-sale, is a further step in the innovation strategy led by
Ingenico Labs, aiming to integrate payment into connected
objects.
BNP Paribas has chosen its "2Opéra", agency in
Paris as consumer test site, for this connected screen with
contactless multi-payment capabilities. For example, customers may
choose to make a donation to their preferred charity simply by
placing their contactless payment card or their NFC smartphone on
the screen. With this solution integrating an interactive, dynamic
and multi-content interface with multi-sum and multi-merchant
payment capabilities, making a donation has never been so fast and
easy. "This initiative is part of the innovation
strategy of BNP Paribas, the bank for a changing world. Our
vocation as a banker is to introduce our customers and prospects to
state-of-the-art banking innovations while ensuring the security of
their transaction." says Ariel
Steinmann, Head of Marketing Online Banking BNP Paribas and Hello
Bank!.
Tomorrow, Ingenico Group and Think&Go will
deploy this solution in public environments equipped with digital
screens (shopping centres, stations or airports) to deliver new
consumer experiences such as impulse buying, coupon collection or
purchases on e-commerce sites from a public place.
"We are convinced that
digitalization of the consumer experience can be taken far beyond
the boundaries of the Internet, and that integrating payment into
connected advertising screens is a unique opportunity to create new
point-of-merchant interaction," explains Michel Léger, EVP
Innovation at Ingenico Group. "This pilot
solution is paving the way for new sales opportunities and new
consumer journeys such as booking a product on screen and paying
the balance when collecting it from a shop. Once again, this new
initiative from Ingenico Labs illustrates our technological
progress in the areas of connected objects and consumer
journeys."
"We are delighted with this
strategic partnership between Ingenico Group and Think&Go,
introducing multi-payment to connected screens," comments
Vincent Berge, CEO of Think&Go. "We believe
that this disruptive technology is a commerce and eCommerce
revolution. The screens generate transactions within a
split-second, enabling the consumer to make a booking, a purchase
or retrieve a coupon, using their mobile phone or bank card,
without needing to download an application, with one easy
action."
