BNP Paribas is an international bank and a leading e-commerce player in France, with a market share of nearly 30% of all e-commerce transactions. The partnership between BNP Paribas and the Ingenico Group helps the Bank's customers to boost their online sales in Europe by accepting both international and local methods of payment. Ingenico ePayments solution, combined with BNP Paribas' electronic payment solution, allows merchants in 14 European countries to accept online payments in 8 different currencies.
