Contactless K-Plussa cash card helps transactions at checkout
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
K-PLUS OY PRESS RELEASE 06.02.2012 AT 09.00 1(1)
K-Plussa launches a contactless K-Plussa cash card. The new K-Plussa cash card,
which can be used in K-Group stores, is the biggest application based on
contactless technology in the Finnish retail trade. The new contactless K-Plussa
cash card helps customer transactions at checkout.
"K-Plussa provides a faster and easier shopping experience for customers at
checkout. K-Plussa also monitors actively the development of contactless
payments and mobile solutions together with its partners", says Niina Ryynänen,
Managing Director of K-Plus Oy.
The uniform payment terminals of the K-Group stores enable the introduction of a
contactless K-Plussa cash card in all of the K-stores at the same time.
The contactless card makes transactions easier for customers at the checkout.
The customer only needs to hold the card near the reader, which then reads the
customer identifier on the card in order to register K-Plussa points and grant
other K-Plussa benefits. Customers no longer need to insert their cards into the
reader. A contactless K-Plussa cash card can be registered in the reader as soon
as the cashier has read the first product at the checkout.
Contactless K-Plussa cash cards are issued to new K-Plussa customers and those
replacing their existing cash cards starting from the beginning of February.
