Sarah Jasper, commercial marketing director of The Hut Group said: "MasterPass provides our customers with a faster, more convenient way to shop and helps us attract and retain new customers too."
The MasterPass platform allows consumers to safely store all their payment, store card, loyalty, shipping and billing address details in one place. It also facilitates customers to use any enabled device to shop online or in-store with one click.
It also uses NFC and QR codes to provide consumer choice about the best way to pay, whether with cards or mobile.
By clicking the MasterPass button on a retailer’s site the customer can access their wallet of choice and authenticate with a password to checkout. In addition to MasterCard cards, consumers can use other branded credit, debit, prepaid and private label cards.
