Payments
Our expertise :
The accelerated digital transformation triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly disrupted consumption and payment habits, extending far beyond the banking sector. The world of payments now spans numerous industries: banking, finance, manufacturing, public sector, retail, and e-commerce.
Within this rapidly evolving ecosystem, a new subset of digital players has emerged. As a subgroup of FinTech, PayTech focuses on the entire payments value chain, including payment service providers (PSPs), technical acquirers, payment networks with new offerings, and payment technology providers.
At TNP, we support the entire value chain, from issuers to merchants, working with not only banking actors but also those in industry, retail, and the public sector.
We assist our clients in creating and optimizing payment journeys and processes and guide them in framing strategic payment projects. Our mission is to help you navigate the complex, ever-evolving payments environment where innovation and regulatory compliance are key challenges.

Projects
Designing Customer Journeys for Wire Transfers and Cash Management
A simplified customer journey and reduced costs: These were the results achieved by our retail banking team through the implementation of digital projects related to wire transfers and cash management within a major French bank.
Results:
Customers gained autonomy (and satisfaction), while the bank significantly reduced its costs.
PCI-DSS Compliance
For two major French banks: identification of operational risks related to the PCI-DSS standard. This standard, developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (which includes Visa, Mastercard, and other networks), aims to protect sensitive cardholder data.
Results:
The first PCI-DSS certification was obtained in 2018 (and has been renewed annually) for the data center scope. The next goal: certification scheduled for 2022 for the merchant acquiring sector.
