Shoe retailer Clarks has signed up to Visa’s V.me digital wallet as it seeks to extend the number of ways customers can pay for its products.
Visa plans to make the service available across Europe initially with the UK and Spain launching at the end of this year. Other markets will follow.
Visa said the service will allow customers to make ‘faster, easier and more secure’ payments.
‘The retail community is incredibly important to us and we've designed V.me by Visa to improve sales for retailers and improve the customer experience. V.me by Visa is fully optimised for mobile e-commerce, is easy to use and gives shoppers confidence and peace of mind when they pay online because we shield their card details,’ said Duncan Olby, senior vice-president at Visa Europe.
A spokesman for Clarks, which has over 5000 stores in the UK and Ireland and sells 50 million pairs of shoes every year, said: ‘At Clarks we are all about giving the customer choice which is why we are excited to be able to start offering them V.me by Visa, a new payment method supported by a well-known and trusted brand – Visa. This new payment method will give our customers more choice about how they want to pay online, making it more convenient, simple and safe.'
