McDonald’s is sure making it easy to eat and hang out in their restaurants. They recently introduced free Wi-Fi to 1,400 locations and now have struck up a deal with MasterCard Canada that sees the “PayPass” contactless payment
system being implemented, ushering the ability to quickly pay for your meal and down that Big Mac faster.
According to the press release it stated that “PayPass point-of-sale payment terminals have been installed at more than 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across the country, giving patrons the option to simply tap-and-go to make their purchases… Consumers with a PayPass-enabled MasterCard credit card or mobile phone can quickly and securely pay for their purchases with a simple tap of their card or phone on a PayPass point-of-sale payment terminal. The transaction is confirmed within seconds and the consumer never lets go of their card or phone.”
Update: We just received this response from the PR firm in regards to what cellphones are currently working with PayPass “There are no PayPass enabled phones currently on market, but as I’m sure you’re aware, MasterCard is working to bring this technology to Canadians.”… so we still wait it out.
