FrenchSys has launched the Acceptance Observatory in partnership with Mercatel , an innovative initiative designed to provide a consolidated, neutral, and representative view of the French payment acceptance market
FrenchSys identifies and monitors the systems and terminals that use its specifications or services. This coverage represents nearly 95% of card acceptance points and card transactions carried out in France..
By combining technical data (protocols, software versions, migration status) with business data (usage patterns, transaction volumes, and transaction flow types), the Observatory delivers a factual and comprehensive view of the transformations currently shaping the payments ecosystem.
