Elisa Consumer Subscription Business vice president, Henri Korpi, said that the completely mobile pre-loaded sticker service can be activated through a SMS for instant use. The payment stickers carry a pre-loaded value of 20.
The store has already begun accepting contactless payments in Finland for small purchases up to 25 without requiring the customer to enter a PIN code or sign for purchases.
The stickers are available for customers who have a Finnish social security number, a Finnish mobile phone number and are at least 15 years of age, according to Henri Korpi.
A part of Reitan Convenience and Reitan Group, R-kioski has a nationwide coverage with nearly 640 stores and a brand recognition of 98%.
