#payments – SafeCharge, a Nuvei company, announces it can now offer Cartes Bancaires (CB), France’s national interbank network, and the country’s most widely used payment scheme. With one integration, SafeCharge enables access to over 300 alternative payment methods throughout the world. Adding Cartes Bancaires removes yet another payment barrier, enhancing local and cross-border transactions by providing a secure and familiar form of payment.

SafeCharge is making it easier for businesses to make the world their local marketplace by expanding online operations into France, one of the largest eCommerce markets in the world, and the second-largest economy in the European Union. Cartes Bancaires has over 70 million cards in circulation and 60% of French payments are made using the card brand. In addition to minimizing fees for domestic processing, SafeCharge merchants can now offer this local payment alternative to maximize authorization acceptance rates, improve customer satisfaction, and generate more potential revenue.

Retail eCommerce sales in France continue to rise in the double digits, and are expected to reach nearly 80 billion euros by 20231, with fashion and apparel being a leading market segment. The French gaming industry has also experienced impressive growth, led primarily by sports betting, as total revenue in Q3 2019 rose 27.7% year-on-year to 346 million euros2. For international sellers, accepting Cartes Bancaires delivers greater growth opportunities with improved access to French consumers. To further boost conversions, SafeCharge streamlines the checkout process with built-in, dynamic localisation of preferred language, transaction currencies, and payment methods.

“It doesn’t just take great technology to succeed. Digital transformation is the key to growth in today’s global market. Businesses need a payment partner they can rely on to implement and execute a successful payment strategy,” said Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s chairman, and CEO. “Launching Cartes Bancaires acceptance gives our customers another edge needed to thrive locally and globally, all through a single, integrated platform.”

“We are excited to offer Cartes Bancaires as a local, preferred payment option, providing greater access to the booming French online market,” said Yuval Ziv, MD of SafeCharge and head of global acquiring. “Consumers in France have embraced eCommerce nearly universally. SafeCharge customers can now expand their business and maximise conversions, whilst delivering a localized user experience to a sophisticated and affluent consumer base.

Cartes Bancaires operates on a closed-loop interbank network, requiring a local acquiring connection. Outside of France, most cards can be processed internationally as typical Visa and Mastercard transactions through a co-branding arrangement, making cross-border online payments seamless.

Lisbon’s streets set the pace for Season 2 of GR8 Tech’s Bet It Drives — the drive-time podcast where iGaming’s most interesting voices speak freely, in motion. Hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, Chief Sales Officer at GR8 Tech, each episode captures raw insight, candid stories, and the kind of energy you can only find on the road.

Episode 2 puts the spotlight on Tiago Pereira, Head of Portugal at LeBull.pt, the executive who helped turn a logo and a bull into one of the fastest-growing brands in Portugal’s regulated iGaming market. With more than 20 years in sports betting, affiliates, and casino operations at Placard.pt, Betano.pt, bet.pt, and Sportingbet, Tiago has led market entries, compliance frameworks, sponsorships, and full-funnel digital growth.

During the ride, Tiago opens up about:

  • How he found his path and his journey from architecture and computer science to marketing.
  • The history of LeBull.
  • Portugal vs. Brazil: same language, different mindset: why copy-paste doesn’t work and true localization is key.
  • The idea behind the LeBull Night Show, a weekly late-night comedy event.
  • His failed marketing project.
  • Trusting younger generations.
  • His previous approach to marketing when he joined Betano in 2017.
  • Why the Portuguese sports betting market relies on the casino vertical.
  • The next chapter for affiliation.
  • Network or Not Work: mascots, localization, and keeping support teams local.
  • A small personal detail that’s still quietly visible online for those who know where to look.
  • His Champion Rule: move forward with an “I need to get this done” mindset. Whatever happens, don’t stop. Stay consistent, keep moving forward, and the results will follow.

“Tiago showed us how to win a new market with discipline, curiosity, and the courage to keep moving forward,” said Krazhan.
