BlueSnap partners with Dalenys for businesses to achieve higher authorisation rates in the EU and France

By Joy Dumasia

BlueSnap has partnered with Dalenys, the Merchant Acquirer specialised in payments performance and part of Groupe BPCE, to bolster its global network of acquiring banks, which allows merchants to benefit from local card processing in France. Businesses are likely to see increased sales and revenue as local acquiring helps them to achieve higher authorisation rates and reduce cross-border fees.

While BlueSnap has offered local card acquiring in France for many years, the partnership with Dalenys further strengthens BlueSnap’s local card acquiring capabilities in Europe. This enables businesses with a customer base in France to process digital payments as a local transaction.

Ralph Dangelmaier, CEO at BlueSnap, said: “With our partnership with Dalenys, BlueSnap continues to strengthen our position as a leader in local acquiring and cross-border payment services globally. Dalenys’ extensive reach and customer base will enable us to help more businesses than ever looking to expand into international markets as the volume of customers purchasing goods and services online continues to accelerate. We know that ‘going global’ can be a daunting step for many firms and that cross-border payments are incredibly complex. That’s why BlueSnap is focused on helping businesses optimise their global payments to increase sales and reduce costs.”

Dalenys offers a unique payment solution, maximising conversion rates and fighting fraud. For 10 years, Dalenys has been recognised for its performance. They support large businesses and regulated institutions throughout Europe with their team expertise, in-house engineered technology and unique payment data. As part of Groupe BPCE, the 2nd largest bank in France, Dalenys will enable BlueSnap to continue its ambitious growth strategy in Europe by building more redundancy, failover and payment optimisation capabilities in the region.

Available in over 200 regions worldwide, BlueSnap’s Intelligent Payment Routing technology, part of its global payment services, automatically recognises a card’s issuing country and directs it to one of its 47 local card acquiring banks worldwide to optimise sales and reduce costs. This means the payment is treated in the same way as a local transaction, avoiding global interchange fees, where possible, in line with card brand rules. 

Matthieu Vermot, CCO at Dalenys, said: “We are delighted to partner with such a successful international payment platform, and we are thrilled to provide our best-in-class “Payment Facilitator solution” and support BlueSnap performance to process French card transactions. This partnership reinforces our positioning as a leading Paytech and Merchant Acquirer, driving payments performance for European merchants and Payment Facilitators.”

IBS Intelligence also reported that BlueSnap, a global payment orchestration platform committed to helping B2B and B2C businesses accept and optimise payments worldwide, has launched its Embedded Payments and Payfac-as-a-Service offering for software platforms looking to scale their customer base globally.
