This refers to any payment made via a EPT (electronic payment terminal) using contactless technology, by entering a PIN code or by making a payment over the Internet on an e-commerce site. Banking information is read, transmitted and exchanged in real time. It comes under the heading of electronic money, i.e. any intangible, digitised money flow other than checks or cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-fdfb3172\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong><strong>Digital currency or virtual currency&#8230;what&#8217;s the difference?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">The differences are sometimes blurred. We&#8217;re talking about the digitisation of payments or the digitisation of transactions. We speak of digital or electronic money as opposed to fiduciary money (coins or banknotes). The exchange is digital and deals with secure banking data between a payment network, a sending bank and a receiving bank. These are data stored on electronic media. Electronic money is regulated by traditional banking institutions (European Central Bank) and is denominated in traditional units of account such as the EURO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">A virtual currency, on the other hand, is a form of electronic money, since it is itself stored on an electronic medium. But it is only intended to record exchanges, has no legal status and is not indexed to a real currency. It has no physical materialisation and is not subject to any control. There are three types of virtual currencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <strong>Closed virtual currency<\/strong>: this is used in closed virtual universes and cannot be converted into regulated legal tender. The best example of this is video games, where virtual currency has no connection with real life.<br\/>\u25cf <strong>Virtual currency with a &#8220;one-way&#8221; flow<\/strong>: here, virtual currency can be bought with real currency. Example: with 10 euros, I buy X units. This currency, once converted into virtual money, can be used to purchase real or virtual goods. The most frequently used examples are the famous airline &#8220;Miles&#8221;. These are generally small amounts.<br\/>\u25cf <strong>Virtual currency with a &#8220;bidirectional&#8221; flow<\/strong>: in this case, of course, we find the famous <strong>cryptocurrencies<\/strong>, which allow conversions into real currency in either direction. They are exchanged peer-to-peer, without banking intermediaries, and have their own management and security systems based on blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f0f13206 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-bbe2c585\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-0b823934\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Would you like to find out more about our products?<\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-btn__default-btn uagb-btn-tablet__default-btn uagb-btn-mobile__default-btn uagb-block-ccedda06\"><div class=\"uagb-buttons__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap \">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-405f2303 wp-block-button\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/epayspace.com\/en\/solutions\/eps-factory\/\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">Discover EPS Factory<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-69ab9123\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1874\" height=\"1840\" src=\"https:\/\/epayspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Masquotte-EPS-livre.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4681\" style=\"width:180px\" title=\"Banking as a Service\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epayspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Masquotte-EPS-livre.webp 1874w, https:\/\/epayspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Masquotte-EPS-livre-300x295.webp 300w, https:\/\/epayspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Masquotte-EPS-livre-1024x1005.webp 1024w, https:\/\/epayspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Masquotte-EPS-livre-768x754.webp 768w, https:\/\/epayspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Masquotte-EPS-livre-1536x1508.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1874px) 100vw, 1874px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-76c906af\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong><strong><strong>Which payment services are available with e-payment?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\">Services dealing with e-payment include all digital payment services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <a href=\"https:\/\/epayspace.com\/en\/blog\/e-wallet\/\">E-wallets<\/a> enabling the cantonment and transfer of funds: these include kitty banks, neobanks, etc.<br\/>\u25cf Bankcards, payment cards, <a href=\"https:\/\/epayspace.com\/en\/blog-en\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-prepaid-cards\/\">prepaid cards<\/a>: France&#8217;s favourite payment method!<br\/>\u25cf Mobile payment and everything to do with card tokenization: the growing payment medium.<br\/>\u25cf <a href=\"https:\/\/epayspace.com\/en\/blog-en\/e-wallets-vs-virtual-cards-what-is-the-difference\/\">Virtual cards<\/a> for all Internet payments<br\/>\u25cf IoT and all connected objects enabling contactless payment, thanks in particular to NFC technologies<br\/>\u25cf QR Codes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-4c0973ad\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>E-payment : <strong><strong><strong><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">Because of its purely digital nature, e-payment offers a number of advantages that have made it a success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Fast: e-payments have the advantage of being instantaneous for the end-user.
