The leisure voucher.

For culture, sport and time off, spent at the places Bounou has cleared for leisure vouchers.

What it is

A voucher for cultural, sporting and leisure activities, issued and administered by Bounou.

The employer sets the value per member.

Who buys it

Employers, for their staff.

An employer orders it in the Bounou console and receives a purchase order and an invoice.
Bounou's commission is added on top of the face value and invoiced. The rate is in your quote and your contract before you sign.

Where it is spent

Only at places Bounou has cleared for leisure vouchers, from what each one's documents show it offers.

The map shows every shop and the vouchers it accepts, and the app shows a member how much of their value works at a shop before they walk in.

How a member receives and spends it

The employer assigns the vouchers, and they arrive in the member's Bounou account at once.

At the counter, the member shows a code that lives 90 seconds and says only who they are.
The shop scans it and enters the amount; the member approves that amount on their own phone.
If the vouchers usable there do not cover the bill, the shop charges what they cover and the member pays the rest the usual way.

Tax and social contributions

For the employee it is salary for income tax (IRPP). For the employer it is a staff cost, like salary.

Décret n° 2003-1098, article 1er, item 16, excludes from the CNSS base allowances for cultural, sporting and leisure activities; the examples it gives are collective — staff associations, outings.
The published texts do not say that an individual leisure voucher is covered. We claim no relief on contributions for it.

Every voucher is valid for one year from the day it is issued, and its expiry date is shown wherever it is shown; value still unused on that date stays with Bounou. Bounou is not a bank and not a payment institution.
