Cash from K-stores - Kesko and Nordea increase cooperation
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KESKO CORPORATION PRESS RELEASE 25.10.2012 AT 14.00 1(1)
The testing of cashback service will begin in 30 K-markets in November. The aim
is to extend the service to K-food stores within next year. Starting from spring
2013, Nordea customers can attach a K-Plussa identifier to Nordea's MasterCards
to gain Plussa benefits without a separate K-Plussa card.
- Customers at K-stores frequently inquire about cashback service, says Kesko's
President and CEO Matti Halmesmäki.
- I'm pleased that we can serve our customers even better than before by
offering them the possibility to withdraw cash at K-store checkouts. The nearly
1,000 K-food stores all over Finland provide an excellent possibility for it.
K-Plussa feature also to Nordea's MasterCards
Customers value the diversified K-Plussa customer loyalty benefits and in the
future, the benefits will be made even more easily available to Nordea's
customers. Starting from spring 2013, the K-Plussa feature can also be attached
to Nordea's MasterCards, so that the customer no longer needs a separate K-
Plussa card for gaining Plussa benefits. The co-branding card makes shopping
faster and the customer needs to carry one card less in his wallet.
- The new card feature is a welcome additional benefit for our customers, which
we are confident will increase customer satisfaction, says Pekka Nuuttila of
Nordea.
