Walmart bolsters mobile payment options

Walmart is expanding its mobile payment options.



Walmart will accept Chase Pay on Walmart.com, through the Walmart mobile app, and in its stores through the app’s Walmart Pay feature. The digital payment solution allows shoppers to make secure digital payments in-store and online while earning rewards and receiving offers. Chase Pay also protects the customer through token technology, which utilizes one-time complex codes to process transactions and keep credit and debit card information secure.



The integration of Chase Pay comes on the heels of Walmart’s recent announcement that it expanded its relationship with Chase. Through its agreement, the retail superstore will process Chase Visa card transactions across its more than 5,000 Walmart and Sam’s Club locations in the U.S., and at Sam’s Club e-commerce, through ChaseNet, the bank’s closed-loop network.



Both ChaseNet and Chase Pay are scheduled to go live with Walmart in 2017.



“We are excited about the opportunity to provide our customers with even greater convenience and value to our Walmart Pay app while expanding our relationship with Chase,” said Mike Cook, senior VP and assistant treasurer for Walmart. “Adding Chase Pay as an option within Walmart Pay and online will create an enhanced experience for our customers.”
