Universality and interbank operation

It is not by chance that more than a third of commerce in France is affiliated to the CB system, which in 2010 represented turnover of €336.2 billion in card payments and €115 billion in cash withdrawals.

Its major principles are interbank operation and universality, leading to the widest-possible acceptance of the CB card.

Lastly, the CB system has security imperatives, which ensure that everyone can use their cards anywhere in complete confidence.
