Auchan Launches Mobile Payment App In Italy

Auchan Retail Italia, in collaboration with Mastercard, has launched a new mobile payment app, AuchanSpeedy.

Through the use of the AuchanSpeedy app, customers can scan products in-store and pay for them on their phone.

The service, available to the members of the retailer’s customer loyalty programme LaTua!, is in addition to the traditional and self-checkout systems, and aims to provide more payment solutions for shoppers.

Moreover, it guarantees a simple, quick and safe shopping experience, according to Auchan.

"Auchan is committed to developing innovative solutions to enable shopping where you want, when you want and how you want, even for payment systems," said Stefano Ghidoni, customer and innovation director of Auchan Retail Italia.
