There is an undeniable spike in contactless payments due to the growing popularity of Apple Pay among shoppers.
Three years ago, a group of US retailers working in cooperation with the Merchant Customer Exchange umbrella, chose to delve into the mobile payments market.
The mobile payment solution provider MobiKwik announced its partnering with global retailing giant Walmart to power 20 of its outlets named Best Price Modern Wholesale stores over 9 states.
For Walmart, the prepaid card of choice has been Green Dot since about 2007, and that relationship is set to continue for quite some time.
With its own problems in the mobile payments space in the US, retail juggernaut Walmart is looking to play nice with Alibaba as it targets China.
Walmart has recently announced a new Amazon Prime-like subscription service for fast and free shipping. We get Clarus Marketing Group’s CEO Tom Caporaso’s thoughts on this move and how it may play out.
Walmart still doesn’t accept Apple Pay, but that doesn’t mean they don’t see a bright future for mobile payments.
Wal-Mart is launching their own money transfer service called “Walmart-2-Walmart.”
