Rabobank, Dutch supermarket Albert Heijn team up for sticker-based mobile contactless payments trial

Thursday 15 September 2011 08:00 CET | News

Dutch supermarket chain operator Albert Heijn (AH) has launched a sticker-based mobile contactless payments pilot in partnership with financial services provider Rabobank.

Consumers taking part in the trial will be provided with contactless payment stickers linked to MiniTix, the virtual wallet owned by Rabobank. Users can attach the stickers to their mobile phones to carry out low-value payments in the Amsterdam World Trade Center building by waving their NFC-enabled handsets over specially designed readers developed by Chess iX.

Albert Heijn hopes that the newly-launched contactless stickers will make for a speedier checkout process as well as cut back on waiting times for customers.
