Starbucks And Best Buy Debut Chase Pay App

There’s good news for mobile wallet enthusiasts across the country. Chase Pay now works at more than 7,500 participating Starbucks locations across the United States, as well as in almost 1,400 Best Buy stores.

All folks have to do is download the Chase Pay app, enter their payment card or account information, and they will be able to pay for their coffee and electronics purchases with just a tap of the screen. If they already use Chase.com, they will already see their Chase Visa credit or debit cards, as well as Chase Liquid prepaid cards, already pre-loaded in the app when they log in with the same user ID and password they use online to log into their Chase accounts.

With the Chase Pay app, customers can pay with their mobile phones using a QR code at Best Buy and Starbucks stores, reload their Starbucks cards in the Starbucks mobile app using Chase Pay, check their Chase account balances and available credit lines, and review their transactions over the past 90 days.

Jennifer Roberts, president of strategic alliances and loyalty solutions at Chase, says Chase Pay benefits both merchants and consumers. “By focusing on merchant needs first – lower cost, zero fraud liability – we’ve got a real opportunity to break through the mobile payments noise.”

More Chase Pay-friendly locations coming soon

Coming soon, Chase customers will be able to pay via Chase Pay app when filling up at the gas station and shopping for essentials at their favorite big box stores. Phillips 66, Conoco 76, Shell, Walmart, ShopRite, and The Fresh Grocer will begin accepting Chase Pay in the near future, according to the bank.

Mobile wallet payments are becoming more and more popular, across all segments of the population. Easy and convenient payments with just a tap or a swipe are increasingly appealing as people’s worries about security are gradually abated.
