Spar will offer its customers the ability to pay with Apple Pay when it launches in the UK next month.
The number of Spar stores accepting contactless payment has soared and its integration will offer customers additional benefits including increased transaction speed, a greater customer experience and will appeal to the new generation of tech-savvy shoppers.
Spar UK Managing Director Debbie Robinson said: “Apple Pay will offer huge benefits to our customers and retailers. It is perfect for high value purchases at our forecourt garages and larger convenience stores; it will also appeal to busy shoppers doing their top-up shopping at Spar stores up and down the country. Apple Pay meets all of our customer requirements, including increased security and privacy.”
Robinson also highlighted the benefits the new technology will bring retailers, such as increased footfall, improved customer service and faster transactions in-store.
She concluded: “We feel the UK is about to witness one of the most radical changes to the way in which shoppers pay for goods, led by Apple Pay, and Spar will be one of the first retail chains to support this new mobile payment revolution.”
Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by their credit and debit cards. In stores, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch.
