Wal-Mart Sees Shoppers Adopting Mobile Payments

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. said it expects its shoppers to adopt mobile payment systems in the future. At present, the retailer is working with the CurrentC mobile payment system developed by the Merchant Customer Exchange, a consortium of several large retailers, including Target Corp. and Best Buy Co. Although MCX members are not accepting mobile payments from other platforms for the meantime, Wal-Mart said it is open to different mobile payment options, including Apple Pay.
