Definitions
- the New Payment Process applies to the field of payments, the settlement and clearing system, electronic banking, management of loyalty points, ...
- the invention relates to the actual process of payment
- the New Payment Process (NP2) is a radical change in the approach to payment processes.
- the invention makes it possible to proceed line by line, or article by article, or even share of price by share of price, controls, imputations, payments and compensations, to simultaneously produce a basic report of complete operation object of treatment as such, which constitutes a new process, original compared to the state of the art in that it bases a different and complete system of monetics, composed of a set of tools of implementation, supports equipment, distribution schemes, functional processes and "NP2" services, subject of this deposit, allowing the provision of new payment services.
- NP2 New Payment Process
- the New Payment Process can be implemented through a system, including servers, local payment and purchase terminals, payment media (cards, telephones, online sales systems,. ..), implementing the NP2 processes and programs, themselves organized within processing chains intended to carry out purchase and payment transactions, ensuring controls, imputations and distribution among various. sources of financing and production of account release data, article by article, within the same payment transaction.
- NP2 payment supports have the particularity of being able to support several sources of financing or payment and to integrate data defining a set of rules of imputations and controls, adapted according to the particular needs of the domain, the carriers, the financers or merchants.
- the NP2 processing chains are designed to convey operation reports, by elementary operation, integrating data relating to the payment but also to the object or service paid and data relating to the controls and imputation mechanisms. These reports are in themselves object of treatments which constitute a specific element of the invention.
- This NP2 finds an immediate and powerful utility in that it aims at creating processing chains capable of processing a set of data not limited to a price and that it opens the new possibility to exploit a set of features new, made available by current and emerging technologies, capable of instant and powerful treatments on increasingly varied, safe and light media but still lack practical applications in the field of payment in fact not, in fact, the existing regulation or technology, but because of the design of payment systems and processes, all of which go through the obligatory step of totaling the amount subject to cashing.
- the final process remains invariable: the deed of payment is reduced to the final balance of a total established in "the addition”, “the bill”, the bill, ... final step where the case is made, the case the global controls and then the imputation of the total flow into a single account.
- Card issuers offer "accounts" with which several cards are associated, issued either on behalf of different holders, or marked as “additional” for the same cardholder to enable him, by the choice of the card used at the time of payment of distinguish between types of expenses and budgets. Still other cards are used to support the expenses that will be debited on an associated consumer credit account.
- the checks generally concern the reliability of the payment medium before the payment requested is accepted in full.
- the controls will generally relate to
- Certain items or services can not be paid for by the card and therefore can not be integrated into the "bill" (eg some gas cards may or may not allow the purchase of treats or car accessories). gas station); the controls put in place prevent payment with this card.
- certain cards for example cards issued by major retailers
- offer the credit union the choice between direct payment or charging to a consumer credit company for retail, in general, their subsidiary consumer credit.
- the customer can with some banks distribute by a banking management the clearance or the spreading of its monthly debt by call of facilities of cash or by an associated account of consumer credit.
- a debit or credit card is also provided.
- the function is always determined by the choice of the terminal used (ATM or ATM, payment terminal, Monéo or Navigo terminal, etc.); the payment medium is passive in this choice; it carries juxtaposed programs relating to different operations.
- the regulation sometimes imposes constraints which make natural this dissociation between means of payment (e.g. the regulation specific to the consumer credit makes natural its management by "factories" dedicated in the banking world).
- the Single European Payment Area should cause a significant evolution of the domain over the period 2007 to 2012. It must open with new technical rules a window of intervention for new providers.
- the retail industry is also very interested in offering its customers more comprehensive payment services than the only credit card issued by their consumer credit subsidiary.
- Various initiatives in this area have been taken in recent years, both by consumer goods distribution companies (mail order companies, supermarkets and hypermarkets, etc.) and by distribution companies in specialized consumer goods and services (fuel payment cards, car park).
- the European Central Bank (ECB) is at the origin of the creation of a status of issuers and broadcasters of electronic money, homogeneous in the countries of the euro zone and, with the help of a Community directive, in the country of the European Union. It also works to create common objectives and security standards for e-money systems.
- the NP2 changes the payment from a global transaction concentrating controls and associated information to a point that is the payment of a balance (thus confusing by preventing their exploitation the information associated with each item purchased) to a complex and controlled process organized by elementary imputation operation for each item taken separately.
- NP2 organizes payments by processing related information

- the set of hardware and logical elements of implementation of the invention has the common feature of organizing all processing elementary payment imputation operation (OIPE), to perform for each of these operations controls based on the purchaser, the mode of financing, the object or the service purchased and then produce a report of specific operations for each OIPE.
- OIPE processing elementary payment imputation operation
- the OIPE results from the processing of multiple data concerning the bearer and the sources of financing available to him, the characteristics of the purchase and the rules of imputation and control.
- the NP2 system By initially designing data on various sources of funding, purchased objects or services, and imputation and control rules, the NP2 system typically includes specific and specific software tools and processing chains.
- the invention includes the various specific management tools necessary for the administration of the NP2 system and intended to fully exploit the new possibilities provided by this method.
- This support will most often be a smart card, or a processor included in a mobile phone, a PDA, or even an ad hoc support, ...
- NP2 can be carried out on any existing or future payment medium, whose processing software capabilities integrate with the construction or will have been completed by the implementation of NP2 programs and software packages. It uses state-of-the-art schemes and circuits for network and network tools.
- the purchase corresponds to an "article of an addition", it can be related to a property, a service, an operation fee. It may concern only a single share of the price of the same object or service charged to a single source of financing. Its description can be reduced to the strict minimum: a quantity and a unit price; it can be enriched, according to the needs of the field of application, of various descriptive levels.
- the payment may be charged article by article or even by share of the price of an item on different sources of payment.
- NP2 allows differentiated item-by-article imputation as well as control of imputation or load balancing between sources of funding or those called “financers" in the rest of this document: it is first the individuals themselves who in this process can impute their different purchases either to their main account normally debited on their current account, or on prepaid budgets (by themselves or relatives, friends, companies, works, donors), or on drawing rights open to them personally or professionally (individuals, credit institutions, public administrations, etc.); secondly, banks and credit institutions, whether general or specialized, may be able to finance certain expenses; Finally, there are companies or organizations wishing to open and control drawing rights to shooters, beneficiaries or principals.
- the last scheme allows to create a payment service delivery offer, on the initiative of companies issuing means of payment media (mobile phones, brand or co-branded cards, RFID media, or any new payment vector ), who put themselves in a firing position in the NP2 process, with a counterparty: for example a prepaid account holder position, an electronic money issuer status and / or a direct debit.
- payment media mobile phones, brand or co-branded cards, RFID media, or any new payment vector
- the allocation to a source of financing may consist of a debit on an account, from bearer or a financier or a transfer (or transfer) from an account or that of a financier.
- the NP2 device provides for the implementation of checks to the degree of finesse necessary, able to meet the expectations of consumers, traders and distributors, producers and those referred to here as "financiers” (individuals, credit institutions, public administrations, etc.). These controls can be relative.
- NP2 results in the production of transaction reports, by OIPE, OPE and by settlement, and allows to produce any other desired report by selection and aggregation of the data contained in the OIPE reports.
- transaction reports describing the global purchase (settlement report, description of the settlement transaction) or the purchase of an item (OPE report) or the item allocation (report OIPE), normally include the report of control operations performed and their results.

- the material data management will borrow from the Supply Chain Management (Supply Chain) supply side of the supply chain and apply them in the NP2 process and monetics applications.
- the process calls for the creation of rule tables used for elementary checks and imputations, depending on the object or service purchased (item), the bearer, the source of financing, and the data entered at the time of purchase. related to the conditions of it.
- This data includes in a simple way the rules already used in the monetary domain (limits, validity periods, control of card lists or stolen payment media, ...) but are extended to all the rules specific to the NP2 process, necessary to its operation, in particular the rules for charging all or part of the price of the article between different sources of financing managed and presented by the payment medium.
- the operation reports are, according to the NP2 process,
- step 1 the payer identifies himself (see figure 3) The payer connects his NP2 payment support to the NP2 payment terminal (which operates in connection with a central server or asynchronous operation). It performs an authentication according to one of the methods of the existing art.
- the operations are then carried out on the basis of the information contained in the payment medium, supplemented if necessary by the information available on central site.
- the payment terminal connects with the NP2 purchase terminal or the NP2 purchase server.
- Step 2 Items are presented for payment (see Figure 4)
- the items, presented to the payment by the holder at the time of purchase, are read by the NP2 purchase terminal according to one of the many existing methods (laser barcode reading, RFID, manual identification by the seller or cashier, etc.). ).
- the information related to the item retrieved varies; they are limited or not to the information read by the purchase terminal, supplemented as much as necessary by the data available on the article or on a purchase server, and by the information entered at the cashier by the cashier.
- the information is then sent to the payment server NP2, whether it is central or implemented in the payment terminal NP2 (or the purchase terminal), so that the payment server NP2 performs the OIPE.
- Step 3 The OPE is insured and checked article by article
- the NP2 payment server then has two of the three sets of data necessary for the NP2 process:
- the NP2 process realizes, at the OPE, the allocation of the expense related to the article to one of the available sources of financing, according to the imputation rules thus collected.
- Step 4 Imputation will only be carried out after the planned checks have been carried out at Step 4, whether relating to the article, the method of financing, the rules combining these data or the rules laid down by the data relating to the controls and settlement rules, included in the payment medium, in the cash register reader or the NP2 processor itself.
- Step 4 Settlement is imputed to various sources of funding (see Figure 5)
- the payment server NP2 then has all the elements to perform the OIPE (s) relating to a given article.
- imputation is carried out only after the planned checks have been carried out, whether relating to the article, the method of financing, the rules combining these data or the rules laid down by the relevant data. controls and settlement rules, included in the payment media, in the cash register or the NP2 processor itself. If the conditions are not met, either the account is charged to the main account, ie the account on which the bearer of the payment medium is required to honor its elementary debt (prepaid account within the limit the credited amount or direct debit rate granted by the holder to the operator), ie the sale is refused and the item withdrawn (purchase not authorized).
- the allocation of the expenditure relating to the share of the price of the item to one of the available sources of financing is carried out according to the imputation rules thus collected and applied.
- Step 5 OIPE transaction reports are stored or transmitted (see Figure 6)
- the transaction report - derived from the OIPE includes for each element the data relating to the payer, the payment, the imputed financing and associated amount as well as the descriptive data of the article and the applied rules, useful for the application.
- This report is stored either in the payment method or in the central server.
- the data is transmitted by the NP2 account retrieval server to the different users (bearer, payer, fnancancer, seller %) according to the needs of the application and in accordance with the applicable laws and confidentiality rules.
- the offset of the payments and payments is done in real time or asynchronously.
- the centralized mode corresponds to a typical client server schema. It allows the realization of all the controls in real time. It supports advantages and disadvantages of central architectures (cost and constraints of availability, security guarantees, ).
- the asynchronous mode uses the possibilities acquired by the most efficient electronic payment architectures (management of the suspends, fault tolerances, distribution and replication of information between the servers, ).
- This mode of implementation is not an element of the present invention, it is only a variable mode depending on the choice of implementation media, whose method is only a simple user.
- Step 1 The OIPE Report reaches the Operations Report Management Program
- the payment server that carries out the OIPEs, whether it is installed on the payment terminal, the purchase terminal or the purchasing server, transmits, in real time or in asynchronous mode, the reports of OIPE to the server of payment. restitution of the accounts and ROIPE where is implanted the program of management of the reports of operations NP2. Step 2: The NP2 Transaction Report Program Generates a Compensation Transaction Report from the OIPE Reports
- the NP2 operation report management program Upon receipt of this report, after storage and archiving operations for legal and back-up purposes, the NP2 operation report management program proceeds in the first place with the clearing operation. To do this, it calls the distribution lists of reports to generate downstream of the operation. This program first generates, from the report and according to these rules, an elementary offsetting transaction report, corresponding to the elementary settlement amount, referencing the issuer and the beneficiary, for transmission to a clearing network. accepting. Step 3: The Operations Reporting Program Sends a Clearing Operation Report to the Clearing Server
- Step 4 The OIPE reports stored by the program are used by the NP2 Report Restitution Server to generate the other transaction reports
- the NP2 transaction report management program After transmission of the compensation report, the NP2 transaction report management program prepares the other transaction reports.
- the process allows, because of its design, to schedule a return of operations reports integrating all the applicable constraints in terms of confidentiality, secrecy of operations, transparency and anti-money laundering
- the data are transmitted to the different users (payer, financier, seller %), via the NP2 account restoration server, after fabrication and formatting by the NP2 transaction report management program and in accordance with the laws and confidentiality rules. applicable depending on the domain and the application.
- the modes of implementation are, in the process, adaptable according to the domain, tools and media used, available connections and the number of parties involved.
- the physical payment operation NP2 differs little from a conventional payment, card or any other material or online support.
- the difference which lies in the nature of the information processed and operations performed, remains globally transparent to the user.
- the determination of the implementation network architecture on a given application domain depends on the particularities of this application domain and the technologies available.
- the specific elements related to the choice of an NP2 process concern the volumes of data used and the need to operate control operations and operations on the fly. attributable to the different sources of financing, as proposed by the NP2 payment medium.
- the process can be implemented both in topologies organized around centralized servers and in asynchronous usage patterns.
- Implementation topologies can be two, three, four or more.
- the logic of the NP2 process is to determine the architecture of a new payment service on a given domain only after analysis of the functional needs of the application and definition of the networks, terminals and hardware supports implemented for the construction of the processing chain.
- This topology leads to the establishment of an operating architecture that distributes between the stakeholders in the system the hosting and management roles of the different servers and the administration roles of the different applications and databases.
- freedom is the greatest in the determination of this architecture, but in practice it is subject to two types of constraints: those derived from the tools and systems available from different partners and their performance; and those from the many regulatory constraints applicable to the subject.
- the primary role of the NP2 service provider will naturally be to provide know-how in the design and deployment phases of the treatment chains.
- This provider may also naturally be responsible for the implementation of these servers and responsible for the management of some NP2 programs, depending on the roles that the stakeholders in the chain of treatment wish to entrust.
- an administration scheme For the establishment of a payment system in a given application domain, an administration scheme must be defined.
- the NP2 provider management tool is presented as an interface for managing and parameterizing NP2 elements, processes and data for which the NP2 provider is the operator.
- Payment servers can either be located at the NP2 provider or housed in the purchase terminals or purchase servers.
- the NP2 park management server is an interface for managing and configuring NP2 elements, processes and data in a single architecture under the control of the same party.
- Provider and merchant are normally each user of a park management server.
- the NP2 carrier relationship management server The NP2 carrier relationship management server
- the carrier relationship management server NP2 is located in one of the parties to the device set up. As a general rule, this may be the issuer of the payment medium.
- the bearer or persons in relationship with the bearer can, by using a dedicated interface for linking to the NP2 carrier management program, available on the NP2 fleet management server, credit one or more of the envelopes created by the carrier and made visible by him, after authentication, on the management interface of his NP2 payment medium or NP2 park management server. These same persons may also grant debit fees to which imputation control rules will be associated.
- credits or debit fees are normally assigned to a general envelope of credit or to envelopes or budgets dedicated to specific expenses (for example for certain categories of purchase: food, health, certain goods, products or services; for certain periods corresponding for example to a holiday budget; ).
- the person having credited the NP2 account of the holder or having granted him a direct debit right may be made the recipient of all or part of the transaction reports relating to payments charged to his account or prepaid amounts credited to his account.
- the bearer can, by means of its management tool, create envelopes or budgets dedicated to particular expenses within its NP2 payment support or on the fleet management server NP2 (for example for certain categories of purchase: food , health, certain goods, products or services, for certain periods corresponding for example to a holiday budget; ).
- Each of these envelopes can be assigned to a particular source of financing: debit on a given current account, allocation to a consumer credit account, posting to an account on which the holder has a debit right, ... implementation of the imputation rule being accompanied by the definition of control rules that may prohibit the allocation, set by the holder or inherited from the financier or the drawee.
- the parties concerned will be able to define within the NP2 payment media or on the NP2 payment and fleet management servers, any control rules or imputations relating to the field of application.
- management rules are normally defined with reference to a typology of objects or services that can be purchased and with reference to various sources of financing. They can be easily asked and defined in relation to the envelopes or budgets dedicated to particular expenses (for example for certain categories of purchase: food, health, certain goods, products or services, for certain periods corresponding for example to a budget holidays; ). Each of these envelopes may be assigned allocation rules and control rules reserving the allocation to a particular source of financing where a set of necessary conditions is met.
- Failure to comply with these conditions may be penalized either by the impossibility to purchase or by automatic posting to the main account of the payment medium.
- the NP2 process organizing a systematic control of the imputation and allowing the distribution of the components of the price between different funders as soon as possible will be particularly adapted to the introduction in monetary applications of debit rights granted by third party financers, public or private. professionals or individuals, voluntary or obligated donors as well as any companies or credit institutions.
- the process makes it easier for a whole range of economic actors to access controlled financing. Symmetrically for these financiers, the process will facilitate the management, because of the possibility brought by the process to all the parties concerned to manage, in a given field of application, rules and controls, the application of which will be systematic above all payment and that will result in the production of reports of operations that can be used in the form of structured data files, for the return of the accounts and for the controls.
- the market relation management server NP2 The market relation management server NP2
- This server allows access to the NP2 merchant management programs described above among the implementation tools.
- This server can be implanted with different parts according to the chosen architecture. It is normally administered by the merchant or the NP2 provider. In this second hypothesis, the user merchant connects to this server hosted by the provider NP2.
- This server is described above among the implementation tools.
- This server can be implanted in different hardware supports and with different parts according to the chosen architecture.
- this purchasing server can be implemented on these materials.
- the purchasing server is normally administered by the merchant or by the NP2 provider or by any other part of the processing chain.
- the merchant user connects to this server hosted by the party providing the payment service NP2.
- This server hosts the NP2 Operations Reporting Program and performs the above described operations as part of the clearing steps.
- This server can be implanted in different hardware supports and with different parts according to the chosen architecture. Given the confidentiality requirements, this server will naturally find a place in the NP2 provider.
- This server hosts the NP2 operations report management program and performs the operations described above under the steps of the return of the accounts.
- This server can be implanted in different hardware supports and with different parts according to the chosen architecture.
- the NP2 channel design phase normally performed by an NP2 payment service provider, comprises:
- the industrial phase of deployment of the NP2 treatment chains to a given domain normally comprises:
- the exploitation phase comprises the functions, to be divided between the parts:
- the new features concern in particular the customer, the financier (s) and the merchant.
- the holder of the payment medium can himself define envelopes allocated to certain expenses.
- the holder may indeed be interested in managing specific budgets for certain expenses, for example certain types of purchases or expenses made under certain circumstances.
- the modern payment support NP2 will allow him to return to quite traditional habits of domestic management (budget holidays, budget health, clothing budget, budget recreation, food budget, back to school budget, child budget, ...) .
- This new faculty opens up for distributors a range of promotional activities targeted at the "pocket money" that will be given to young people by their parents and allies. For these, the use of this device allows a secure management of sums given and thus facilitates the decision to pay more significant amounts in the form of pocket money.
- This field of promotion will be all the more promising as the market management tools that are part of the NP2 system offer a range of easy-to-use possibilities. It will be very easy to disseminate these offers via the management tool, and proceed to the issuing of targeted offers for certain types of articles, for certain types of financing, for certain periods; to use the same example: a special discount or a purchase voucher for expenses made on prepaid envelopes during the back-to-school period for books of study or school supplies.
- the NP2 transaction reporting mechanism also offers powerful opportunities to analyze the commercial effectiveness of these offers, allowing efficient targeting of these promotional transactions.
- a child or a beneficiary of a senior citizen may grant him a drawing right or pre-paid budgets for living expenses by specifying, if he wishes, that these amounts can not be used to purchases of alcohol or, for example, gambling expenses or expenses in excess of EUR X.
- NP2 payment systems are also of particular interest.
- the NP2 system makes it possible to revive in a satisfactory way the experiences so far without much success of "service cards” distributed by town halls or public authorities.
- the system allows the issuance of NP2 payment media for payment to the public service delivery unit, for example: access to catering services, free access to formal and leisure services, etc.
- NP2 payment tools used for the distribution of public aid allocated to the public and / or specific expenses, will also have the effect of opportunities for fraud as well as allowing control operations and tracking of much easier abuses.
- the processing chains have this capacity and the operations report management programs can be parameterized to fit immediately and completely in the information systems internal to the system. whether purchasing and supply systems or the accounting management system (ERP).
- ERP accounting management system
- PFi and RIC may be carried out in conjunction with the company's human resources management system (HRM).
- HRM human resources management system
- NP2 payment media For smaller companies, especially PE, the use of NP2 payment media will bring even greater benefit by facilitating management and reducing material and administrative tasks, even though case the level of finesse in the processing of reports and the degree of control remains elementary.
- NP2 payment supports are thus particularly suitable for developing the use of its solutions, whether electronic or online, within companies; they will bring ease, security and cost savings.
- Another example can be given by the establishment of a card system for the management of meals of employees of a company in one or more of the surrounding restaurants, or even within a network of restaurants (union, network of franchisees, catering branches, ).
- Cards with a carrier identification system, a collaborator of a company can thus allow this employee to take his meals in the restaurant or restaurants with which the company has signed a contract guaranteeing, within limits and conditions defined in the form of rules of imputation and control, the support by direct debit of his meal.
- the complement of the assumption of responsibility can be either paid immediately to the restorer by the collaborator, or debited on his account.
- NP2-type solutions For a bank or a credit company, the deployment of NP2-type solutions makes it possible to renovate the offer of services to the three previous audiences: individuals, businesses, public authorities.
- the NP2 system provides by design simple solutions to offer and manage new services that banks have, so far, tried to offer to their customers and which have regularly failed because of the complexity of use for customers and the cost of management for the bank.
- NP2 solutions also open up new opportunities for distributors, producers, merchants and merchants in their marketing offerings and capabilities.
- NP2 payment solutions are initially designed for deployments of new electronic payment solutions.
- NP2 solutions In the field of large-scale retailing or specialized distribution towards consumers, the choice of NP2 solutions allows to innovate by offering tailored to the needs of specific target customers.
- the NP2 process normally leads to accelerating the evolution of the means of payment. It must facilitate the development of applications on new media and the entry of new industrial players or operators and service providers.
- the NP2 architecture offers a truly new perspective to the deployment of payment solutions on physical media from the world of telecommunications.
- this technology provides, to a very large extent, pre-existing solutions to the specific needs of media processing chains, linking, processing and preserving encrypted data.
- the value creation provided by the NP2 must allow the conditions of profitability justifying the investment of modernization to be made, to satisfy the requirements of such applications.
- the diffusion of innovations related to the means of payment should be accelerated: development of "contactless”, use of payment solutions from the PDA or “smartphones” which will make use of its computing power and the communication skills of these personal assistants, whether or not they use GSM or UMTS or 3G networks, or any new “contactless” technologies.
- the power of the NP2 can even imagine two applications dematerialized technology to achieve virtual payment media or point.
- the NP2 device can also be implemented in virtual form, "wallet", adding a payment tool on objects for another purpose other than payment.
- a typical example is provided by the cards now serving as a hotel room key.
- the integration on this card of an NP2 payment support makes it possible to greatly simplify the reception and departure operations of the hotel.
- the hotel chains generally record the references of a means of payment in guarantee, sometimes a deposit, sometimes still a price paid most often corresponding to a set of services (room for x nights, breakfast included or no, meal with or without drinks, ).
- a set of services room for x nights, breakfast included or no, meal with or without drinks, .
- the various consumptions made by the customer are summarized, the prepaid benefits are removed, a global invoice is published and the balance is paid by the customer, often by means of a credit card.
- the NP2 process on the card used as room key, it will be possible at the customer's arrival to load the payment support with a prepaid envelope summarizing the services provided in the package already paid (equivalent to the voucher ), as well as the characteristics of the credit card presented as a guarantee at the reception upon arrival.
- the customer uses his key by identifying and method of payment of the various services consumed. Those included in the prepaid package are charged, those that are not included are accumulated to be debited at the time of departure on the card presented upon arrival.
- the payment is immediate: the returned card allows the edition of an invoice summarizing all the services, specifying their allocation on the prepaid package and billing the surplus on the credit card number chosen by the customer to the customer. 'arrival.
- the method allows the manufacture of a "purchase token" which can be very simply put in place on an NP2 payment medium, such as the opening of a financing service, corresponding to a purchase credit, in a determined limit, under certain conditions of exercise (period of validity, place), for certain products or in certain stores, for the purchase of certain articles or even of a particular article.
- a "purchase token” which can be very simply put in place on an NP2 payment medium, such as the opening of a financing service, corresponding to a purchase credit, in a determined limit, under certain conditions of exercise (period of validity, place), for certain products or in certain stores, for the purchase of certain articles or even of a particular article.
- the payment medium becomes the equivalent of a purchase order, a payment receipt or a withdrawal slip, which can be read on an NP2 payment terminal, also benefiting from the security of the mode. authentication of the carrier and the carrier.
- This credit can be loaded on the NP2 payment medium in various ways: during a visit to the store at the time of connection of the payment medium on the payment terminal, connected to the purchasing server which then issues the credit; by connection to the carrier management server before going to the store.
- the credit could have been created by the buyer on its bearer management interface or at the end of an online purchase, by deciding to pay by one of the sources of financing and to be issued in this form and on its support NP2 the practical equivalent of a receipt for withdrawal of the purchase; in the latter case, however, the passage of the support on the payment terminal NP2 for the withdrawal of the purchase will be worth "good end” and finalize the payment, which for the consumer has an obvious advantage.
- C.2.3 In e-commerce
- NP2 shopping servers will bring new tools for e-commerce, marketing, market analysis and prospecting new customers, ...
- the NP2 process brings the prospect of new services and reduced downstream management costs.
- the voucher can be replaced by the granting of a prepaid credit valid in a specific way for certain items, a certain period, in some stores, ...
- the transaction reporting mechanism allows for accurate tracking of the use of these vouchers and facilitates the analysis of their commercial effectiveness.
- NP2 payment supports are specifically designed to provide this type of guarantee as well as to facilitate the implementation of a direct debit fee or the periodic recharging of prepaid envelopes.
- the process By facilitating payment for customers in a weak position, the process will contribute to the solvency of their consumption needs and to attract consumption needs for others ", corresponding to the wishes of their children, relatives or friends to allow them, at a distance, an easy but controlled consumption and limited to certain types of expenses.
- Such payment media are also suitable for the distribution of certain social assistance by public administrations assisting these populations for their means of subsistence or for certain types of special expenses.
- Young clients are also particularly suited to significant commercial initiatives organized around the dissemination of "young cards”.
- distribution companies are also opening a commercial field of action to capture the "pocket money" given to young people by their parents and grandparents, by guaranteeing a framework by nature of goods and services purchased from the community. expenditure that will be made on the prepaid amount.
- NP2 payment media are specifically designed to provide this type of guarantee as well as to facilitate the implementation of a direct debit fee or the periodic recharging of prepaid envelopes by third parties for the benefit of the holder.
- Such payment media are also suitable for the distribution of certain social assistance by public administrations granting assistance to young people or certain categories of young people (students, unemployed, etc.) and for certain types of special expenses.
- the NP2 solutions are particularly adapted to the management of public aids. Depending on the degree of detail and complexity of the rules and controls, this system is even suitable for managing subordinated grants under various conditions.
- the loading of periodically prepaid accounts or the allocation of drawing rights with associated limitation may be two methods of dispensing these aids via an NP2 support.
- This support can be dedicated exclusively to the management of the policies of a given community (service card of a community or local authority), or to gather the help of the various communities intended for the same public (students, unemployed, old people, disabled, ).
- the bearer of these aids may be dedicated to this type of financing source or may be supplemented by an additional source of financing debited from the holder's current account or prepaid by him.
- the expenditure made beyond the amounts of aid allocated or outside the conditions required may however be paid by the same regulation, offset on several sources of funding. This modality is of more discreet use by the beneficiaries.
- the social security fund carries a reimbursement portion, which varies according to the drug and whether it has been prescribed by a doctor or not,
- the NP2 thus allows the differentiated imputation article by article as well as, simultaneously, the control of the imputation or the distribution of the load between sources of financing.
