Facilitating mobile payments
Stockholm-based software development company, Seamless, has inked another deal with a retailer for SEQR mobile payments (view press release). The company is collaborating with electronics chain Kjell & Company, to offer customers visiting in-store the ability to pay by scanning a QR code at the cash register. The QR code identifies the payment recipient who is connected to Seamless’ transaction platform and consumers pay directly from their bank accounts or credit providers.
“Our wide range of mobile phone accessories helps identify solutions that further extend smartphone functionality. The new, innovative payment solution SEQR will therefore be ideal for us and provide added value for our customers,” said Martin Knutson, IT Manager at Kjell & Company. “We are impressed with how quick and easy it has been to integrate SEQR with our POS system. We believe that SEQR has potential to facilitate payment significantly, while also ensuring a lower cost per transaction.”
The new deal follows Seamless’ recent partnership with Swedish retail chain Webhallen for the same service.
