CRÉDIT MUTUEL TEAMS UP WITH EDENRED TO OFFER ITS FRENCH CLIENTS THE TICKET
RESTAURANT CARD
From October 8, 2018, customer advisors at Crédit Mutuel(1) and its
subsidiary, CIC, will market the Edenred Ticket Restaurant card, expanding
Crédit Mutuel's range of services for companies and enabling Edenred to step
up its growth on the French market.
Destined for Crédit Mutuel1 and CIC customers, the new service complements the
existing range of employee benefit products (employee savings and retirement
plans, collective insurance), for an even more exhaustive and competitive
offer. It will be available at close to 5,000 branches in France from Crédit
Mutuel and CIC advisors whose strong and long-term relationships with companies
all over the country account for 13.5% of the French market.
60,000 additional cards(2) will soon be migrated to Edenred's online platform,
giving users access to the Ticket Restaurant card's unique functionalities
that include easy-to-use instant mobile meal payments via Apple Pay and Samsung
Pay, as well as direct access to delivery platforms Dejbox, Deliveroo, Rapidle
and Uber Eats. Today, the Ticket Restaurant card is already used by 600,000
employees and accepted by 200,000 restaurants and merchants.
"We're delighted with this partnership with the Crédit Mutuel and CIC, which
reflects Edenred's dynamic development and will increase our penetration rate.
Our unique expertise in Ticket Restaurant card services, from mobile payments
to meal delivery platforms, combined with the drive and France-wide presence of
the Crédit Mutuel and CIC teams, will enable us to consolidate our
leadership," said Julien Tanguy, General Manager of Edenred France.

customers the best service, the best expertise and the best performance and
