Subway’s New Wireless Payment Method
Looks like Subway‘s joined up with some new high-tech payment methods that will be introduced to 7,000 restaurants nation wide. The system, powered by MasterCard, will allow customers to pay for their fresh sandwich purchases with a simple wave of the card, key chain and/or Smart Phone. Companies like McDonald’s, 7-Eleven, and Jack in the Box have already implemented similar technologies at many of their locations across the country to allow customers a faster alternative to pay for their purchases.
The payment technology will be in stores by end of the first quarter of 2012, according to MasterCard Worldwide, the company providing the 34,500-unit Subway chain with this PayPass system. The system is hand-in-hand with Google’s initiative to one day replace your physical wallet with their digital version, or more simply put, making your phone your wallet.
