Contactless Payment Trial in UK Boots Retailer
According to Finextra, UK retailer Boots is under going a trial for the contactless payment.
UK high street retailer Boots is teaming with MasterCard and RBS WorldPay to introduce contactless payments at stores in London and Liverpool.
From the second half of this year, 15 stores in London and six in Liverpool will let customers make payments of under £10 by tapping their MasterCard PayPass cards against specially equipped terminals.
As acquirers, RBS Worldpay will work with Boots to develop and implement the system in the stores.
Roberto Tittarelli, head, commerce development, MasterCard Europe, says: “As part of MasterCard’s strategy of strengthening merchant relationships, we’re delighted to be working with one of the UK’s leading retailers to make consumers’ lives easier by allowing them to simply Tap & Go.
Here in Malaysia, Maxis (Telco provider) has actually launched this kind of service. But i’m not sure how is the usage rate though i’m one of Maxis subscriber, i don’t use the service yet because of phone dependent.
