Greggs offers customers contactless payment option
Greggs is the latest retailer to announce the introduction of contactless payment technology in store.
The bakery retailer says it is now accepting card and contactless payments throughout its nationwide network of 1500 shops. Card acceptance is now fully deployed at all Greggs stores and a phased roll out of contactless payment acceptance is underway.
Greggs said the introduction of contactless payments, which enable customers to ‘touch and pay’ in less than a second, will help to reduce queue times in its shops during peak trading periods, particularly at lunch time.
A spokesperson at Greggs said “Card payments and especially contactless payments are extremely suitable for our growing business. The vast majority of the transactions are below £15 and the introduction of contactless payments will greatly enhance the customer experience within Greggs”.
Greggs is working with Lloyds TSB on the roll out of the system using technology provided by Spire Payments UK.
