RAPAPORT... Walmart has introduced a new payment feature on
its mobile app that allows customers to pay for goods in-store using a
smartphone.
The U.S. retail giant is the only retailer to
offer its own payment solution that works with any iOS or Android device
capable of downloading it and with any major credit, debit or pre-paid card or
Walmart gift card, according to a statement December 10.
The new service will be introduced in select Walmart stores from December,
with a nationwide launch to be complete by the first half of 2016.
”The Walmart app was built to make shopping faster and
easier,” said Neil Ashe, Walmart Global eCommerce’s president and chief executive officer. “Walmart
Pay is the latest example – and a powerful addition – of how we are
transforming the shopping experience by seamlessly connecting online, mobile and
stores for the 140 million customers who shop with us weekly.”
Some 22 million customers actively use the Walmart app each
month. It is one of the top three retail apps in the Google and Apple app
stores, according to the company.
