Aldi France deploys Verifone terminals to accept mobile payments
Verifone has announced it will provide Aldi France with 3,200 payment devices designed to accept all cashless payments, including contactless and mobile wallets, according to a company press release.
Aldi France operates 900 retail locations and is a unit of Group Aldi, a global retail grocery chain.
Aldi is deploying the VX 520, Verifone's countertop payment system that handles contactless and NFC-enabled card processing. It also enables Aldi France to accept mobile wallet technologies such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Android Pay, subject to market availability. Additionally, Verifone will supply its P5C PINpads and check readers to equip Aldi's checkout lanes with fast and efficient payment acceptance.
"Verifone is extremely pleased that Aldi has extended its relationship based on our past performance and our continued innovations in payments," said Jean-Philippe Niedergang, vice president and general manager of southern Europe for Verifone. "This demonstrates Verifone’s growth and leadership in France’s retail sector, and our ability to deliver simple, safe solutions that help to create great consumer interactions so businesses can sell more and grow."
In addition to this relationship in France, Verifone works with Aldi in several European countries, including the U.K. and Germany.
