Ukash has been operating in France for some time and vouchers have been available via the prepaid Toneo card and online through a bank transfer since mid-2009. Consumers can still obtain Ukash through Toneo and online.
Consumers can now purchase Ukash vouchers to shop online from 15,000 point of sale terminals operated by la SAF and its subsidiaries. The printed vouchers with cash in amounts of EUR20, EUR50, EUR100 and EUR200 will be issued at point of purchase with a code that is redeemable at any site where Ukash is accepted and can be combined, split or converted.
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash, said: “Since Ukash first launched in France, it has proven to be a very popular payment method, and our new partnership with la SAF is evidence of the rising consumer need in the country to spend cash online. Now consumers can purchase Ukash conveniently from physical locations across the country, allowing more people to benefit from the simplicity and privacy of shopping online with cash.”
