Softcard, formerly known as ISIS, has announced that it is being accepted as a payment method in one of the most popular fast food eateries in the US. Softcard users can now pay for meals in McDonalds restaurants around the US. Payments with smartphones running Softcard apps can be done at the counter inside the restaurant or via the drive through.
The deal with McDonalds is the largest deployment of NFC-based mobile commerce in a drive-through in the US. Paying with Softcard requires customers to use a free app that combines payments, offers, and loyalty in one place.
The app is available for devices on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. The app allows payments to be made by tapping the smartphone on the pad above the credit card scanner in stores.
"We are pleased to announce this national launch after a successful pilot program that began in 2013. Our work with Softcard further reinforces McDonald's commitment to customer service and convenience," said Anja Carroll, vice president of Media and Consumer Connection for McDonald's USA. "By collaborating with top brands in the mobile payments and commerce space, we're able to deliver a more meaningful experience to our customers that includes greater speed, ease and value."
