As part of Cheddar's #HolidayIsHappening series, Hope King went inside the Oculus in downtown Manhattan to get a look at the Chase Pay village. Dina DeMerell, Head of Marketing for Chase Pay, explains how the company is innovating the mobile shopping experience.
The Chase Pay Village features a curated shopping experience and holiday market. DeMerell says this offers merchants an opportunity to showcase their products in an iconic space. The experience is all about getting the consumer more comfortable with the mobile payment experience, says DeMerell.
The Chase Pay Village offers consumers the opportunity to find deals, and also enjoy the holidays, says DeMerell. Chase Pay Village at Westfield World Trade Center's Oculus launched on Black Friday, and is open until January 7th.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
