CO-BRANDED PAYMENT CARDS IN FRANCE: 
Since 1th June 2007, Banksys and BCC have been operating under one single name: Atos Worldline. End of 2006, Atos Origin, through its subsidiary Atos Worldline, acquired Banksys and BCC. This merger came into effect on 7 December 2006 in order to create a European leader in payment services with specializations in the fields of payment issuing and acquiring, as well as eServices and Customer Relationship Management. The acquisition of Banksys and BCC by Atos Worldline as well as their merger enables the combined teams to enhance efficiency and performance for customers, through innovation in the field of end-to-end transactions. Both Banksys and BCC brands will continue to be used for payment terminals, security development and acquiring activities.
In a few months, co-branded payment cards could be widespread in France. Their success will come, on the one hand, from partners and, on the other hand, from the functionalities that will be offered. Combining its expertise in managing payment cards and know-how in managing loyalty programmes, Atos Worldline offers solutions that enable an attractive and differentiating product to be launched. Selfcare management tools (websites, interactive voice response, mobile internet sites, SMS, etc.), a multi-stage payment module and numerous other functionalities can be incorporated.

Electronic invoices 2007/2009: the exclusive results of a study carried out by Markess International for Atos Worldline
Be the first to see e-billing and e-payment market trends, the main parties involved in major projects as well as an exclusive analysis of emerging electronic exchange services.
Once again Atos Worldline will be there at the European trade fair – EXPP – on 10 and 11 September 2007 in London, a not to be missed event for those involved in document dematerialisation solutions.
Since the beginning of 2007, Atos Worldline is processing the Visa cards for GE Money Bank through its own card management system. The company is making available the entire card management process (from application to delivery of the card), as well as its cardholder service, apart from technical processing. Several additional modules, which are outstanding due to a high degree of parameterisation adapted to business processes, have completed the system. These are therefore suitable for developing pre-paid and bonus systems, as well as various tax models. Moreover, GE Money Bank intends to use additional Atos Worldline services through new media such as the Internet, mobiles, IVR (Interactive Voice Response) applications or product modules (revolving credit, loan insurance and online card applications)
Atos Worldline has developed processing facilities for various new card products, through the combination of debit acceptance at the point of sale and credit functionality for the cardholder. Card-issuing institutions can take customers’ needs into account on an individual basis and expand their business scope and revenue-generating opportunities. With new high value debit product solutions, card-issuing institutions can now increase the attractiveness of their products for the cardholder along with their opportunities to create added value. The new product solution developed by Atos Worldline combines the advantages of the “brand” (high level of distribution and acceptance across Germany; low processing costs for debit acceptance points of sale) with the “payment means for the customer” and his individual payment needs (longer payment period, revolving credit, instalment credit with the card, daily or monthly debiting of the current account).
Generalised dematerialisation of documents (e-billing, e-payment) is causing a long term storage problem.
Administrative and personal documents have increasingly become electronic media based and need to be retained for a lengthy period. Atos Worldline offers a complete archiving package designed for private or professional clients. Several organisations have already placed their trust in us, so please don’t hesitate to contact us to find out what we have to offer.

Online payment solution: Atos Worldline incorporates Paypal into its SIPS solution

Atos Worldline offers its 13,000 clients, who are equipped with the SIPS solution, an increasingly wide choice of payment options, whilst also guaranteeing the highest level of security, ergonomy and speed.
One of France’s largest drinking water utilities, Lyonnaise des Eaux, a unit of the Suez Group, wanted to upgrade its automated outbound call system to improve and optimize delivery of messages via multiple channels (voice, SMS, MMS, fax and e-mail). The system is currently used both for crisis communications and general information communication for customers.
Lyonnaise des Eaux has selected the “Worldline’s Push” solution, which sends bulk messages by SMS, MMS, e-mail, fax or voice calls. Atos Worldline will then upgrade, manage and operate the automated call system of Lyonnaise des Eaux.
Banksys payment terminals: an innovative range proposed by Atos Worldline
With the recent addition of the XENTEO® terminal for unattended payment environments, Atos Worldline proposes a complete range of PCI-PED approved payment terminals for any use - countertop, mobile or unattended – and utilizing any communication mean.
The Banksys range of versatile, easy to use and IP-enabled terminals suits any type of payment or environment. Integration is assured across the entire product range: the terminals use the same backbone technology, which means that applications can easily be ported within the new product range with little development effort required.
A common System-On-Chip architecture, featuring an ASIC with two dedicated processors, makes up the core of Atos Worldline POS payment terminals. Combined with the hosted full-featured Linux operating system, this provides the terminals with superior performance, transaction speed, security and development capabilities.
