Walmart Pay catching up with Apple Pay in the US

- By Nuadox Crew -

Walmart announced the launch of "Walmart Pay" in December 2015 in the United States, integrating its mobile payment solution directly into the Walmart app for iOS and Android devices; entering the mobile payment space one year after Apple's Apple Pay launched in 2014. Walmart Pay is now available nationwide in 4,774 Walmart stores, it is "close to surpassing" Apple Pay in terms of mobile payments usage in the US (see Bloomberg).

According to Daniel Eckert, senior vice president of Walmart services and digital acceleration, Walmart Pay is enrolling "tens of thousands of new users a day," and has seen a steady growth over the past few months. Two-thirds of those who try it use it again within twenty-one days. These statistics give Eckert confidence that Walmart Pay will soon beat Apple Pay in the U.S., "in terms of use by shoppers in stores where they're accepted."

“Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s app is close to surpassing Apple Pay in usage for mobile payments in the U.S., giving the world’s largest retailer even more clout as a growing number of people shop with their smartphones. “If daily enrollments don’t slow down, I think that’s pretty well in the cards shortly,” said Eckert, senior vice president for services and digital acceleration. “I would have to imagine we are getting pretty close.”

Market researcher Richard Crone predicted that Walmart Pay will grow bigger than Apple Pay in active U.S. users (who use the mobile wallets for at least two transactions per month) by the end of 2018. Walmart and Apple reportedly held discussions in early 2016 that centered upon incorporating Apple Pay into the Walmart iOS app, but fell through because of the "difficulty of blending the technology underpinning each company's approach."

Walmart Pay Available in All 4,600 Stores Nationwide

Paying with your phone seems to be all the rage these days. First you needed NFC, with the likes of Google Wallet, or Android Pay, and then Apple Pay. Then you needed a Samsung device to work its magnetic secure Transmission magic. Now, Walmart is launching its own mobile payment solution — Walmart Pay — which requires the Walmart app. It’s now available in more than 4,600 of Walmart’s locations nationwide.

It would seem a little too good to be true if it was just an app, but Walmart’s foray into the mobile payment wars isn’t like the other payment systems at all. No, you can’t use Walmart Pay at Starbucks. It only works at Walmart stores, and it’s really just a glorified QR (quick response) code reader.

The service is targeted mainly toward people who shop at Walmart a lot, and already use the app to do things like refill their prescription, compare prices on eligible purchases with stores in the area, and check the in-store inventory. According to Walmart, the number of Walmart Pay users now numbers north of 20 million, and 88 percent of the app’s transactions come from repeat users.

“Nearly half of our customers bought their online orders on a mobile device,” said Neil Ashe, president and CEO of Walmart Global eCommerce. “That’s double last year, and significantly higher than the industry average.”

Technically, Walmart Pay should work on any smartphone, but you need the Walmart app, which is only available on Android and iOS. You can add any major credit or debit card, prepaid card, or even a Walmart gift card.

Using it is pretty straightforward: Once you install the Walmart app and register your card, all you have to do when you reach the cashier is open the app and choose Walmart Pay, activate the camera, and scan the QR code that appears on the debit reader next to the cashier. You’ll get an electronic receipt once the payment goes through. The company says you can even pay half the bill with cash and the rest through Walmart Pay.

“It’s important to note that Walmart Pay is not about improving payment, just for payment’s sake,” said Daniel Eckert, senior vice president of Walmart. “It’s about how we can use payment to create a better shopping experience for our customers in our stores. Walmart Pay is just the beginning.”

Walmart’s not the only big-box store showing its commitment to a proprietary platform. Reuters reported in December that Target was developing its own mobile payments app — slated for release as soon as this year.
