Sylq Chooses Lyzi: Crypto Payment Deployed Across all Terminals

Sylq, one of France's leading all-in-one payment providers, has integrated Lyzi natively across its entire terminal fleet. From day one: all points of sale can now accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins (USDC, USDT, EURCV) and Dogecoin — with no hardware change and no staff training required.

This is the distribution-scale deployment that crypto payments in physical retail have been waiting for.

What This Partnership Concretely Changes for Sylq Merchants

The integration runs directly on the existing Sylq terminal. The merchant does nothing:

• Remote activation of Lyzi's crypto payment module on existing hardware
• Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, USDT, EURCV and Dogecoin supported from launch
• Next-day euro settlement — zero volatility exposure, zero treasury impact
• Automated bank reconciliation via Lyzi's payment infrastructure (ACPR-regulated payment agent, REGAFI n°26900)

Enabling crypto via Sylq × Lyzi is operationally equivalent to activating contactless payments. That is the design principle behind Lyzi's retail payment solution: compliant infrastructure, invisible to the merchant's back office.

Why Sylq Merchants Should Activate Crypto Now

A Fast-Growing Market, A Captive Audience

12% of French people hold cryptocurrency (ADAN – KPMG), skewing heavily towards the under-35 demographic — precisely the core target of modern retail. A merchant not accepting crypto in 2026 is actively turning away a growing share of addressable customers.

High-Spending International Clientele

Crypto holders are statistically over-represented among international travellers and premium buyers. For merchants positioned in high-end retail — such as Lyzi references Printemps, Porsche, Lamborghini, Barrière Group, SBM Monaco — crypto acceptance is a direct differentiator for this audience.

Zero Operational Risk

Lyzi's model eliminates the only real merchant objection to crypto: volatility. Payments received in Bitcoin or Ethereum are converted and settled in euros the next business day. The merchant never holds crypto. Their P&L stays in euros, full stop.

The Technical Architecture: Sylq Distributes, Lyzi Processes, Merchants Collect

The partnership is built on a direct integration between Sylq's payment stack and Lyzi's crypto payment infrastructure:

• Sylq Terminal — Display, payment initiation, QR code rendering
• Lyzi Infrastructure — On-chain detection, real-time conversion, AML/KYC compliance
• Lyzi Settlement — Next-day euro transfer to merchant account
• Reconciliation — Automated, identical reporting format to card transactions

International Rollout: Europe, Southeast Asia, United States

The French deployment is the first phase of a structured international expansion. Sylq and Lyzi plan to extend the partnership across three geographies:

• Europe — covered by Lyzi's KNF VASP registration, passportable across EU member states
• Southeast Asia — among the highest crypto adoption rates globally (Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand)
• United States — contingent on the post-2024 US crypto regulatory framework

For PSPs and acquirers looking to deploy crypto payment acceptance across their merchant networks internationally, Lyzi's infrastructure is purpose-built for this type of integration.
