McDonald’s USA has partnered with Softcard to accept mobile payments at its US locations both in store and at the drive-thru.

With this partnership, customers will be able to tap and pay both in-restaurant and in the drive-thru lane at approximately 14,000 US McDonald’s locations.

Through its use of the contactless EMV global standard and SmartTap mobile commerce technology, Softcard enables payments, offers and loyalty redemption through a simple tap.

Anja Carroll, vice president of media and consumer connection for McDonald’s USA, said: "We are pleased to announce this national launch after a successful pilot program that began in 2013. Our work with Softcard further reinforces McDonald’s commitment to customer service and convenience.

"By collaborating with top brands in the mobile payments and commerce space, we’re able to deliver a more meaningful experience to our customers that includes greater speed, ease and value."
