Banking & Financial Services in Supermarkets 2004

Abstract:
As supermarkets look to squeeze out every penny, they are increasingly considering multiple avenues:
-Some no longer accept shopper checks for payment because of processing charges.
-Some are issuing proprietary cards good for charging elsewhere and generating loyalty points. Starbucks was the first with a debit/cash card for coffee and credit card in one.
-Some are installing kiosks for additional services, including money orders, cashing pay checks and wiring funds.

Wal-Mart continues to pursue full service banking—a move that could deliver an enormous advantage in transaction processing. Those who look more than a year ahead talk about RFID for payments to further speed checkout and satisfy customers’ desires to carry less cash everywhere.
