Carrefour has become the first retailer in Europe to combine its loyalty program with Apple Pay for use with Apple Wallet.
Customers simply need to bring their iPhone or Apple Watch close to the payment terminal,and at the same time use their personal Carrefour loyalty card.There’s no need to scan a barcode, open an app or remember a secret code to use the Carrefour customer loyalty card.Customers can collect their points securely using Face ID, Touch ID or by entering their phone password.
Marie Cheval, Executive Director of Group Financial Services and Hypermarkets, commented, “
“This integration with Apple Wallet and Apple Pay is unique in Europe and provides our customers with a new service designed to make their day-to-day lives easier. Contactless payment is an increasingly popular alternative, and by integrating the Carrefour customer loyalty card into Apple Wallet, we are doing more than simply providing an additional payment option – customers can now pay for their shopping seamlessly, in a completely contactless manner. Once again, Carrefour is delivering on its aim to be at the cutting-edge of digital innovation.”
We are delighted to be able to give Carrefour customers the option to use their loyalty cards with Apple Pay so they can enjoy a completely contactless payment experience, and pay for their shopping simply by bringing their iPhone Apple Watch close to the payment terminal. Using Apple Pay and the Carrefour customer loyalty card in Apple Wallet isn’t just simple and practical: The power of iPhone means that all transactions are more secure and people’s personal data is better protected ” ,added Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Internet Services
