“We’ll partner with Best Buy to deepen relationships with our common customers by integrating offers and rewards into the payment experience to deliver a seamless experience at the point of sale,” said Jennifer Roberts, president of strategic alliances and loyalty solutions for Chase, in a press release announcing the partnership.
“Our goal is always to make things easier for our customers and help them smoothly navigate the checkout process,” added Mark Williams, president of financial services for Best Buy, in the same press release. “Chase Pay provides an easy and safe way for customers to purchase the products they want.”
According to Chase, hooking up with Best Buy is a natural fit given that more than 70 percent of Americans live within 15 minutes of a Best Buy store. There are close to 1,400 Best Buy stores around the country. Chase noted that Best Buy is also a key member of the Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX), a strategic Chase Pay relationship. Chase Pay is live with select online merchants and will be available later this year for Chase customers to use at participating merchants’ registers and in apps.
The deal with Best Buy comes days after Chase reached an agreement with Google in which Android Chase customers can add their eligible Chase Visa cards, including Freedom, Slate, Sapphire, United Mileage Explorer and Hyatt Credit Card, to Android Pay. Customers can make contactless purchases in stores and via apps after they load their credit card into Android Pay.
We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to partner with innovators and disruptors.
