Visa Teams Up with Pick n Pay Nigeria to Introduce Contactless Payments

Visa, a global leader in digital payments, has joined forces with Pick n Pay Nigeria, a leading retail chain, to introduce contactless payment options for shoppers in Lagos. This innovative partnership aims to enhance the shopping experience by providing a fast, secure, and hassle-free payment method.

By combining Visa's advanced payment technology with Pick n Pay's expansive retail network, customers will now be able to complete transactions effortlessly by simply tapping their card on a payment terminal. This new system is expected to streamline the checkout process, reduce wait times, and significantly boost customer satisfaction.

“Contactless commerce has gained widespread adoption across the world as it transforms the retail experience for consumers. Our collaboration with Pick n Pay represents our dedication to delivering innovative payment solutions to our partners and bridging market gaps,” said Andrew Uaboi, Vice President, and Cluster Head of Visa West Africa. “We aim to enhance the customer journey across the region, and through Visa Tap to Pay, Pick n Pay’s customers will get to experience security and convenience with every contactless-enabled transaction made.” 

Visa’s Tap to Pay offers a seamless and efficient payment method for customers with Visa’s contactless chip cards. Each payment made over a contactless-enabled payment terminal is secured with a transaction-specific, one-time code that effectively counters fraud and unauthorized access.  The partnership aligns with Visa’s commitment to providing innovative experiences for its customers and partners and driving the adoption of contactless payments in Nigeria. 

The contactless payment system is expected to roll out across all Pick n Pay stores in the coming months. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the adoption of digital payment solutions, reflecting both companies' dedication to innovation and customer service.
