About JC Decaux

JC Decaux is Europe’s largest out-of-home advertising company and the second largest in the world. They are the world leader in self-service bicycle hire.

Challenge

Roll out an unattended bicycle rental scheme in major cities across Europe. The payment solution had to streamline transactions from all docking stations (2000+) and the internet.

Solution

JC Decaux consulted Ingenico to roll out a centralised unattended payment solution, first in France and then across Europe.

Ingenico interfaced the Axis transaction management system into the self-service docking stations.

It centralises transactions from rental points and the internet.

Its cross-border facility allows JC Decaux to connect directly with the acquiring bank across Europe.

It provides online reporting tools through a customisable E-portal, giving a visibility of transaction data at multiple levels.

Ingenico’s unattended terminals ensure a user-friendly, secure service for customers

Benefits

Through close collaboration with Ingenico, JC Decaux and its customers now benefit from:

• Speed: a total self-service experience with no retailer assistance required
• Security: Chip and PIN payments protect against fraud and give piece of mind
• Centralisation of transactions from 2000+ docking stations and the internet
• Visibility: of European POS fleet transaction data through a customisable E-Portal
• Optimal costs: and industrial-scale roll-out and operating process

Ingenico and JC Decaux are now working together to bring the Axis transaction management solution to local authorities worldwide.
