Carte Bleue [SEP] country of origin
Carte Bleue
Carte Bleue () was a major debit card payment system operating in France. Unlike Visa Electron or Maestro debit cards, Carte Bleue allowed transactions without requiring authorization from the cardholder's bank. In many situations, the card worked like a credit card but without fees for the cardholder. The system has now been integrated into a wider scheme called CB or "carte bancaire" ("banking card"). All Carte Bleue cards were part of CB, but not all CB cards were Carte Bleue.

CB GIE was created in 1984 by the six founding banks of Carte Bleue, plus Crédit agricole and Crédit Mutuel. Since 1992, all CB cards are smart cards.
