Whole Foods Market to provide customers with an
easy, secure & private way to make grocery purchases at
check-out registers
Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) today announces its
participation with Apple Pay, a new category of service that will
transform mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to
make purchases from your iPhone.
“Our customers are going to love the convenience of Apple Pay,
which will bring a faster, easier, more secure and private way to
make purchases at Whole Foods Market,” said Walter Robb, co-CEO of
Whole Foods Market. “We’re committed to providing innovative new
choices and conveniences for our customers, and the ability to buy
groceries with just a simple touch of a finger elevates convenience
to a whole new level.”
With Apple Pay, Whole Foods Market customers will find it easier
and faster than ever to grab their morning coffee from our coffee
bar, a beer in our tap room after work, or a juice from our juice
bars, as well as all of their grocery needs from holiday turkeys to
fresh produce and more. By seamlessly integrating Apple designed
hardware, software and services, Apple Pay creates a unique and
incredibly intuitive and elegant experience for iPhone 6, iPhone 6
Plus and Apple Watch users.
Checkout lanes at all Whole Foods Market stores already accept
industry standard Near Field Communication (NFC) payments via pads
at store check-out registers. With Apple Pay, Whole Foods Market
will accept even more payments using NFC technology.
This fall, Whole Foods Market is excited for Whole Foods Market
customers across America to enjoy easy, more secure and private
transactions with the launch of Apple Pay.
