In 2003, the Cartes Bleues / CB started to move on to the international standard EMV for smart chips, allowing for their use abroad.
In 2010, the Carte Bleue brand was phased out in favour of Visa; however, the term "carte bleue" continues to be used as a generic term for EFT-based payment cards, including debit and credit cards.
