Carte Bleue

Carte Bleue is a major debit card operator in France. The company started in 1961 as an association of six major French banks and has evolved into an integral component of the French banking system Carte Bancaire. Carte Bleue joined with Visa in 1973 and exists today as its French affiliate. Traditional Carte Bleue cards can be used only within France, but the company’s relationship with Visa gives consumers the option to obtain a Carte Bleue Visa card that may be used worldwide. Most Carte Bleue cards are debit only; credit cards exist in small numbers. Carte Bleue cards have used smartchip technology since 1992 and are known for their safety in purchase authorization.
