4186 Xerox is to begin upgrading the bank card payment modules in devices on the public transport networks of Nantes in north-west France and Lyon in south-east France, to ensure they conform to the latest banking standards.

Ticket vending machines in both Nantes and Lyon and ticket booking office terminals in Lyon, installed between 2000 and 2005, will be upgraded.

"Our automated machines have received AFAS certification from PayCert, the independent European body that assesses the conformity of payment modules. By keeping our devices compliant with new requirements we ensure they will remain in operation for a long time", explains François Legrand, preliminary design study manager at Xerox.

In Nantes, the operation will also enable the vending machines to be incorporated into the Atlas system set up by Xerox in 2013 within the framework of the Libertan contactless card project, which enables users to purchase an unlimited annual ticket, or to opt for post-payment and pay for tickets up to two months later, by direct debit.
