The alliance will enable the bank’s 65 million customers to use Chase Pay mobile wallet for making online and in-lane purchases at Kroger.
The service will be rolled out in select retail markets and e-commerce programmes in 2018.
Kroger chief information officer Chris Hjelm said: “Technology is transforming our customers’ experiences and greatly influencing how we are reimagining the store of the future. Mobile wallets enable a more seamless shopping experience for our customers and at the same time, can help us drive cost out of our business.”
Chase head of digital products Jennifer Roberts added: “Kroger is one of the places our customers shop the most, and it’s great to deliver more value to both a key partner and our customers.”
