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.
