 Management of payment methods

Example of a payment method: the Orbeo offer that connects customers (bank card holders) with internet service providers.

The offer enables customers to charge purchases made from the provider to their bank card

w-HA collects the money spent by the customers on behalf of the merchant and transfers to the merchant his portion of the proceeds.

 Issuing and managing electronic money

w-HA is almost the only player in France to enjoy the status of an issuer of electronic money.

For example, this is how w-HA is able to manage the Ticket Fun or Ticket VOD electronic wallets that can be used to buy games and videos.

To buy this type of content on line the customer needs to have opened a Ticket account that he tops up using a virtual prepaid ticket.

w-HA takes care of managing the electronic wallet.

These systems also enable merchants to run loyalty programmes, thanks to the accounts.
