Publisher. With confinement, many habits of daily life are/ have been modified, especially to go shopping. In this new context, contactless payment by bank card is privileged in many businesses, but it is not the only way to pay for your purchases. Your mobile phone can become a tool of choice to facilitate payment during COVID-19. We explain to you how.

You have necessarily witnessed it since France is in confinement, many posters recall that it is now necessary to respect the barrier gestures: wash your hands, sneeze in your elbow and use a single -use handkerchief.

The stores which remain open during this period also had to adapt to this new context: entry of customers in small groups, respect for a distance of at least one meter, implementation of protective barriers between the staff boxes and customers who settle their purchases.

If cash regulations are always possible and can only be refused by a merchant in specific circumstances (1), “it is effectively advisable to favor contactless payments to limit the spread of the virus. In France, the vast majority of payment cards are equipped with this function, ”recalls the Banque de France (2).

A ceiling recorded at 50 euros since May 11, 2020

The implementation of containment had the effect of increasing the number of payment with contactless by 4 % according to the latest analyzes of the CB (3) bank group group (3). Almost 47 million cards in circulation are equipped with contactless (4).

These cards are recognizable by the logo in the form of a radio wave which adorns their front. Before the COVVI-19 crisis, contactless payment increased by 40% on average each month (3). Sign that card owners are less and less reluctant to use this payment method, but its 30 euros ceiling (4) confines this technology to small purchases of small purchases.

Due to the exceptional circumstances, the European banking authority has been favorable to the increase in this ceiling at 50 euros. In France, the increase in this ceiling should almost be generalized from May 11, the start date.

But contactless payment via the bank card is not the only way to set your transactions by limiting the risk of transmission of the virus and there is also contactless payment thanks to the phone phone.

A more interesting alternative with the recruitment of the bank card

It is indeed possible to use your mobile phone to pay purchases at a merchant, using the so -called “wallet” function (portfolio in English).

This is a virtual portfolio that allows individuals to pay, receive or send money via their mobile phone (5). This solution also makes it possible to store loyalty cards, reduction coupons, train tickets on the phone. To stay in the news of the COVID-19, it is for example now possible to generate and store on your smartphone a derogatory travel certificate (6).

And to return to the means of payment, in the same way as a portfolio is the object by nature in which one puts its credit card, the wallet constitutes its digital declination and therefore allows you to virtually store your card in your mobile phone.

In the language of banks, we speak of enrollment ”of the bank card. Once the enrollment procedure has been completed, you can directly pay your purchases with a merchant by approaching your phone from the settlement terminal as you would with a conventional card. Payment therefore remains without contact, but you benefit from a more important payment ceiling than for a cardless payment by card, since the payment limit via wallet is the same as that applicable to your card when you pay a purchase by typing Your PIN code.
