According to [1] French law means they can't store credit card information or directly debit bank accounts. So I can see why a prepay account would appeal to them.

we can not store, but we also do not want to store this information (credit card) for our customers safety

BUT, our bank does it for us, so you can now auto-credit your prepaid account using probe (no more credit, auto credit every month, ...)


By probe, you mean scripting? It sounds a bit complicated compared to a checkbox on the payment screen.


No, he meant that it makes it automated to add money to the prepaid from the CB when some conditions are reached. It is indeed just a simple process to register the card at the bank and configure the minimum amount before adding money.


Prepaid doesn't mean you have to deal with credits, though. My phone is prepaid, but the carrier still lists the price in real currency, not fake money.
