Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on the blockchain, which is a decentralised, transparent and secure storage technology.

"This new service is part of our policy of ground-breaking innovation, exploring different opportunities. We are convinced that learning requires experimentation and this is how we intend to explore new uses and meet customer expectations," explained Richard Dujardin, the Transdev Group's Managing Director for France.

To implement this solution, isilines built a partnership with Paymium, a French start-up specialised in secure and compatible exchanges of bitcoin and euros.

"Paymium is proud to be able to support isilines in this process. isilines is the first company in the industry to implement bitcoin payment, which reflects its capacity for innovation to further improve its customer service." Gonzague Grandval, co-founder of Paymium

This payment method is available on the same basis as the traditional credit card payment and is already operational.
