Australian Payments Plus and Coles to develop bespoke digital wallet

AP+ will be working with Coles to develop a bespoke digital wallet – leveraging their Beem digital wallet technology – which will provide the ability to pay by simply scanning the eftpos QR code in store.

Digital wallet for more seamless payments

Officials from AP+ stated that they’re happy to be working with Coles on developing a unique digital wallet which aims to provide an augmented payment experience for consumers. They know Australians want their payments experience to be more valuable and user friendly and QR payments via a digital wallet makes this happen.

AP+ is committed to working with retailers such as Coles who are looking to create new digital innovations to improve efficiency and better customer experiences in Australian payments.

Representatives from Coles said that they value what is important to their customers and they know they want quick checkouts, no wait times, and an easy, seamless payment experience. They are excited to be working with AP+ to deliver this innovative digital experience for their customers leveraging the Beem wallet technology and the strength of the eftpos QR code platform.

Beem launched in 2018 and currently has over 1.7 million registered users across Australia.
