BNP Paribas supports its business customers with remote payment solutions
BNP Paribas, for its part, offers two remote payment solutions that enable payment links to be sent so that the business can continue to operate with the curtain down, without the need for a website. In concrete terms, all the merchant has to do is send the link to his customer, who can then finalize his purchase by contacting the company by e-mail or telephone. All that's left for the customer to do is go to the store or depot to collect the product.
BNP Paribas, like CIC, is offering free use of the LYF PRO mobile payment application until December 31, 2020. Similarly, Link2pay, a solution used to trigger and secure one-click remote collections, will be free until the end of the year.
Last but not least, the bank and its partner LYF PAY will give restaurant owners access to a complete Click & Collect offer.
