About
Lydia is a French fintech company that built the leading peer-to-peer payment app in France, with more than 8 million users. Founded to simplify money transfers between friends and managing shared expenses, Lydia became the de facto social payment layer for French consumers — comparable to Venmo in the US. The app supports instant P2P payments, money pots (shared wallets), contactless payments, and integration with major French banks. In 2024, Lydia launched a strategic bifurcation of its product: the original Lydia app was retained for P2P payments, while a new companion app called Sumeria was launched as a full-featured mobile bank.
