Visa announced the launch of Visa Checkout, a payment service that replaces its predecessor V.me and enables consumers throughout the United States, Canada and Australia to pay for goods online, on any device, in just a few clicks, according to a company press release.
“As people around the world spend more time and money online, particularly using mobile devices, they are demanding a fast, secure and frictionless way to shop using the payment cards they already know and trust,” Charlie Scharf, Visa’s CEO, said in a press release. “Through insights provided by our cardholders, financial institutions and merchant partners, we designed an online payment experience that continues to deliver on this promise, bringing us closer to the simplicity and speed of the ‘swipe’ in the online world.”
Consumers can enroll any Visa debit or credit card or even other branded cards in Checkout to make purchases from a PC, mobile device or within a mobile app. Once enrolled, shoppers simply provide their username and password to complete the payment process without ever having to leave the merchant’s website.
