The service is available to consumers with a MasterCard or Visa card that they can link to their Redy mobile wallet to fund transactions. A Redy app is available for both iOS and Android and Bendigo Bank customers can also link Redy to a savings account.
Shoppers are rewarded with ‘creds’ each time they pay with Redy. Creds can then be spent at any Redy merchant or donated to charity.
