Partners with Visa Europe.
Nationwide Building Society, in partnership with Visa Europe, have announced the launch of V.me by Visa, a digital wallet that will offer the credit and debit card customers an innovative new way to make shopping online faster, easier and more secure. Nationwide is the first financial services provider to launch this digital wallet in the UK, which aims to provide customers with a seamless online shopping experience.
V.me by Visa allows customers to upload multiple cards into a digital wallet. These are safely stored enabling customers to make future purchases without the need to repeatedly enter their card details.
Graham Beale, Nationwide’s Chief Executive, said: “I’m excited that Nationwide is once again at the forefront of technological innovation by offering the V.me by Visa digital wallet, which will provide our members with a safe, secure and enhanced online shopping experience.”
“We’re delighted that Nationwide has launched the UK’s first V.me by Visa wallet to its members,” said Steve Perry, Chief Commercial Officer for Visa Europe. “The wallet can already be used at over 1,400 online merchants, including household names like Curry’s and Clarks. By Christmas there will be more than 4,000 places where you can use V.me by Visa in the UK, and more across Europe.”
