Customers of renowned retail company, Pick n Pay Nigeria, will now begin to make payments for their goods at the branches of the firm in Lagos without having physical contact with the cashiers.
This has been made possible as a result of collaboration between the organisation and a global leader in digital payments, Visa.
This system allows customers to make transactions by simply waving their card near a payment terminal, significantly reducing transaction time and increasing customer satisfaction.
The partnership leverages Visa’s cutting-edge payment technology and Pick n Pay’s strong retail presence to offer customers a fast and convenient way to pay for their purchases.
This aligns with Visa’s commitment to providing innovative experiences for its customers and partners and driving the adoption of contactless payments in Nigeria.
The contactless payment system is expected to roll out across all Pick n Pay stores in the coming months, marking a significant step forward in the adoption of digital payment solutions, reflecting both companies' dedication to innovation and customer service.
Visa’s Tap to Pay offers a seamless and efficient payment method for customers with Visa’s contactless chip cards.
Each payment made over a contactless-enabled payment terminal is secured with a transaction-specific, one-time code that effectively counters fraud and unauthorized access.
“Contactless commerce has gained widespread adoption across the world as it transforms the retail experience for consumers.
“Our collaboration with Pick n Pay represents our dedication to delivering innovative payment solutions to our partners and bridging market gaps,” the Vice President, and Cluster Head of Visa West Africa, Mr Andrew Uaboi, said.
“We aim to enhance the customer journey across the region, and through Visa Tap to Pay, Pick n Pay’s customers will get to experience security and convenience with every contactless-enabled transaction made,” he added.
