Visiting Paris, are the transactions instant?

Hello,

We’re visiting Paris soon and was wondering does payment transactions instantly appear on the app?
Also if anyone has had experiences of using their card at flee markets etc/ independent dealers…

Cheers, Jason

Notifications are usually instant as long as you have internet and the transaction is done online rather than offline.

I don’t know about transactions in Paris but I do know there is only a single public toilet IN THE WHOLE OF PARIS!!

(It’s near the Eiffel Tower)

You’ve been warned …

Works exactly as in London (in terms of speed, acceptance, etc). Take care to hold some cash on you though, not all merchants accept transactions smaller than €10

Transactions should appear instantly, but be aware that the amount shown is subject to change within a few days.

It usually only by a few pennies, and can be either in your benefit or not, so if you are running your account at close to zero, it might be something you need to be aware of.

Have a good trip!

Pop to the Institute of Modern Art on the way - they have a clean, free and safe toilet

People use cafes, restaurants, bars (the busier the better) and they do exist in shopping centres as well.

There is a whole country outside of London that it works just fine in.

You could be in Peru and get instant notifications as long as you have an internet connection.

…getting an internet connection in Peru on the other hand…
