Chase Pay is ending the year with momentum in Mobile payments. Chase Pay recently created the Chase Pay village in New York City's Oculus, and announced a partnership with Kroger. Chase Pay Head of Marketing Dina DeMerell explains what to expect in the new year from the company.
DeMerell says Chase Pay will continue to demonstrate through our campaigns new ways that Chase card customers can save time and money, while paying securely. "We want mobile use to come naturally," says DeMerell. "We need partners where customers are already shopping regularly. That's why we've teamed up with Kroger, with partners like Shell and Starbucks."
In 2018 Chase Pay is looking at not just changing the payment experience, but revolutionizing the whole shopping experience. DeMerell says Chase Pay is looking to make a difference in ways people go about their daily lives.
