Sodexo Engage, an employee and consumer engagement specialist, has added digital wallet and online payment system Google Pay to its pre-paid Visa card Spree.

The addition will enable Spree users to pay securely through Google Pay installed in their mobile phones across the UK.

The latest initiative follows the introduction of Spree’s own app a few months ago.

Sodexo Engage marketing director Jamie Mackenzie said: “The payments market is rapidly expanding and is transforming the industry, especially when we look at the rise of contactless cards, remote mobile payments and online payments.

“Working with Google Pay is really exciting for the business and as our work shows, we are committed to investing in the most up to date technology for our customers. At Sodexo, we are putting digital transformation at the forefront of everything we do as we want to continue to bring the best experiences to customers that will transform and improve how they use their pre-paid cards.”

Google Pay can be used in a store by holding the smartphone near a contactless terminal to complete the payment.
