French real estate company expands crypto payments offering 

Apsys, a France-based real estate company, has signed a partnership deal with local fintech Lyzi to enable customers to pay for purchases nationwide across all its shopping malls with crypto.

Apsys, a company that owns, develops, and manages many real estate properties across France and Poland, has joined forces with Lyzi, a fintech and crypto payments solution provider.

Through the partnership, customers who purchase goods and services at various Apsys shopping malls in France can pay with crypto.

“Innovating and reinventing the customer experiences at Apsys locations is at the heart of challenges that drive us daily. We are therefore particularly happy today to be a pioneer in payment solutions, thanks to our partnership with Lyzi.”

Manuel Tessier, Apsys asset management director general.

To enjoy Apsys’ new offering, customers must first purchase the company’s gift cards with crypto via the Lizy app. The gift cards will, in turn, be used for payment at Apsys malls. 

Apsys’ decided to expand its crypto payments offering after one year of integrating the feature at its Beaugrenelle department store in Paris.

Despite the chilling crypto winter, which has triggered countless bankruptcies of web3 firms without strong capital controls over the past year, adoption has continued to increase.

Last March, Singapore’s fewStones, a media production company, integrated crypto payments, enabling its users to pay for its animation, video production, and other services in bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins.
