PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Potential for growth remains amid rising threats and challenges
Debit cards in France will face both growth opportunities and challenges over the forecast period. Debit cards hold high potential to replace cheques, which are still relatively common in France.
Digital and neobanks will rise, but their future is uncertain
Digital and neobanks in France, which operate without physical branches, are poised for growth, especially among young urban users. Mobile e-commerce, particularly in travel and tourism, is driving demand for connected debit cards like Apple Pay, making digital banks more appealing.
As digital payments expand, security comes under greater scrutiny
The need to enhance security in digital payments, especially with the rise of contactless transactions and online debit card use, has become paramount. Strengthening protection against hacking and phishing is a key focus, driven by the introduction of regulations such as the Payment Services Directive Two (PSD2), which mandates stronger customer authentication to reduce e-commerce fraud.

Debit Card Transactions
Debit cards merge the functionality of both an ATM card and direct payment from a bank account (a check substitute in some markets). A debit card allows the cardholder to receive cash and monitor account activity at an ATM machine, as well as pay for goods and services via a point-of-sale terminal. A debit card payment transaction involves the automatic withdrawal of funds from the cardholder’s demand deposit bank account (checking or giro). Since the funds are removed from a bank account, no interest is charged on payments. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
