La Française des Jeux (FDJ) is launching a new service.
It announced on Wednesday the deployment of a payment solution for "daily bills", which will initially allow tenants of four social landlords to pay their rent via their smartphone, in approved tobacco bars.
The national lottery operator, whose terminals already make it possible to pay public bills (taxes, fines, public service bills) at some 14,000 tobacconists, is thus inaugurating a new service, called Nirio, accessible to tenants of HLM Seqens companies, Dynacité Logement, Côté d'Azur Habitat and Limoges Habitat, specifies a press release.
These tenants in some 650 municipalities will be able to “pay their rent, in cash or by credit card” at approved payment points, from a tobacconist registered with the Prudential Control and Resolution Authority (ACPR).
9,000 partner merchants
La Française des Jeux hopes in the long term, thanks to other partnerships, to be able to allow the payment of "water, gas, electricity or telephone bills" in its approved Nirio network, it specifies in its press release. .
For Stéphane Pallez, CEO of the FDJ, quoted by the press release, "the success of the service operated" on behalf of public finances "confirmed the need for simple payment services in a friendly and trusted network".
She is launching this new service on Tuesday morning at a Parisian tobacconist alongside the president of the Confederation of tobacconists Philippe Coy, whose network has some 23,300 establishments.
After scanning his invoice, the user will have a payment code generated on his smartphone, which he will present to the merchant, before proceeding to payment - he will have to show an identity document - and receive proof of payment. .
9,000 partner merchants are registered with the ACPR to offer this service to their customers, nearly a third of whom have been trained and are therefore operational.
