The customers of Vishal Mega Mart will be able to pay through Freecharge wallet across 30 Vishal Megamart stores in Delhi NCR beginning this week and soon this facility will be extended to all 178 Vishal stores across the country.
First digital wallet partner to Vishal Mega Mart chain, the payment acceptance via wallet will go live post-Aug 10, 2016, and as part of the launch offer, there will be 20% Cashback, Max INR. 100, once per user every month for 3 months. Customers can make a payment using their registered mobile numbers at Freecharge and walk out of the queue in less than 10 seconds. The dynamic ‘On-the-go-pin’ on Freecharge app ensures the transaction is swifter and safer than cash.
Announcing the partnership, Mr. Sudeep Tandon, Chief Business Officer Freecharge said, “Merchants across India both online and offline are looking to embrace newer and more convenient ways of accepting payments. Customers want a hassle-free shopping experience and one of the pain points is waiting for SMS based OTP to complete their transaction. This process not just increases the queue at the counter but also the frequency of making cash payments. Our partnership with Vishal Mega Mart will help solve the problem for both the merchant and customers. We are glad to associate with Vishal Mega Mart as a wallet partner to enable e-cash payments and offer a safer and swifter payment experience to the tech-savvy consumers of today.”
Freecharge is focused on creating a great UI/UX experience for customers to help them move away from cash to e-cash and transform the world of digital payments with wallet.
