US retailer-led consortium MCX is expanding its CurrentC mobile wallet pilot to further locations across Columbus, Ohio, making it available for use in nearly 150 stores.

New participating retailers include Kmart, Sam’s Club, Sears and Walmart.

The Columbus beta launched in September 2015 at CVS/pharmacy, Giant Eagle, Giant Eagle Market District, Target and Wendy’s.

Additionally, it is expected that the rollout will include select local Exxon, Mobil and Shell fuel stations, according to the consortium. Furthermore, additional retailers are to be added in the near future.

MCX unveiled the CurrentC brand in September 2014 and in more recent news it has teamed up with promotions management and processing provider Inmar to bring digital promotions from US brands to its yet-to-launch mobile wallet platform CurrentC.
