PRESS RELEASE
- Tesco Pay+ offers automatic reward and convenience for loyal shoppers
- New mobile payments app underlines Tesco’s commitment to transforming customer experience
Friday 29th September - Tesco is excited to announce the launch of Tesco Pay+. The mobile payments app, which replaces PayQwiq from Tesco, makes the shopping trip more convenient and more rewarding for customers looking to pay using their smartphone. Key features of the digital wallet, include:-
- Ease and convenience at the checkout with simple and fast payment method
- Ability to automatically collect Clubcard points with a single swipe
- Link multiple payment cards on the app
- Pay for shopping up to the value of £250
Launched in 2015, the digital wallet service has been progressively rolled out across Tesco’s UK stores, with hundreds of thousands of customers having downloaded and using the app on a regular basis to vastly improve their checkout experience when shopping at Tesco.
On average, a transaction using the Tesco Pay+ digital wallet takes place every three seconds at a Tesco store, demonstrating its growing popularity with loyal Tesco shoppers. Since its rollout earlier this year the app has amassed over a quarter of a million users.
The decision to rebrand the digital wallet app to Tesco Pay+ marks Tesco’s commitment to offering customers a unique shopping experience across all UK stores. Customers using Tesco Pay+ will automatically collect Clubcard points for every transaction made at Tesco. As an extra little help, customers who use Tesco Pay + will collect one extra Clubcard point for every four pound spent in Tesco, making Pay+ one of the most rewarding way to pay in Tesco. Offer expires 14 January 2018.
The simple and fast checkout experience delivered by Tesco Pay+ is driving greater customer loyalty through combing a higher transaction limit than contactless and auto collection of Clubcard points in a single scan at checkout.
Commenting on the launch of Tesco Pay+, Mark Loch, Tesco Digital Wallet and Group Payments Director, said:
“The world is changing rapidly around us. How customers interact with their shopping experience, how they manage their money, and how they determine value, are developing all of the time. We are proud that we constantly invest in enhancing the shopping experience so that our customers receive a unique and exceptional service. Our digital wallet has proved to be hugely popular with our customers and we are confident that Tesco Pay +, with its fantastic capability, will continue to transform the shopping journey offering little helps to customers every time they shop in Tesco.”
Tesco Pay+ is available for both Android and iOS smartphones, allows customers to pay and also collect Clubcard points, all with one simple scan of their phone. The app has a single transaction limit of £250 to ensure that customers can use Tesco Pay+ to pay for their weekly shop and more.
