Fans of fast food chain Subway(R)’s colossal sandwiches can now look forward fast payments following the chain’s decision to add contactless payment capabilities at its more than 7,000 U.S. locations.
MasterCard announcement that it had forged a partnership with the iconic restaurant chain that will allow for MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM) contactless payments by the end of 2012. Once enabled, customers will be able to pay for their Subway meals by simply tapping their MasterCard PayPass cards at the registers for added convenience and speed.
MasterCard’s partnership with Subway is just one of several the credit card issuer has made with major restaurant chains this year in its effort to optimize the payment experience for consumers.
