French banking group BNP Paribas' Kix NFC payments service is now available to customers across France, following its introduction in the city of Strasbourg in January 2013.

The service is available on 25 Android NFC phones and five Windows Phone 8 devices and is open to customers of BNP Paribas Mobile, Orange, SFR and Sosh.

Kix uses a TSM platform supplied by Gemalto and allows customers to make purchases at any contactless-enabled merchant location. Customers can sign up for the service at any of the 2,200 BNP Paribas branches in France or by visiting the bank's website.
