Ingenico Group, the global leader in seamless payments, is proud to announce its new partnership with high-street retail icon, M&S. Both companies will work together to implement a new payment service that will encompass all M&S customer touch points and digital channels, which are critical to supporting its sales and customer experience ambitions.

Over the past few years, retail has undergone extensive and rapid change. The requirement for retailers and merchants to deliver on their omnichannel promise and meet consumers expectations has become crucial to achieving success in this new world of commerce. For Ingenico, these changes mean the ongoing delivery of innovation which is at the heart of all the solutions the Group develops for its customers and end users. With consumer behaviour dramatically evolving – thanks to more and more complex omnichannel journeys encompassing instore, online, mobility, and self-service – merchants need to provide simple, efficient and frictionless payment solutions to answer consumer demands, without compromising the speed of service speed, time to market or security.

Ingenico’s payment platform will provide M&S customers with an innovative payment experience, allowing them to pay wherever and whenever they want using their preferred method and sales channel. Ingenico’s platform will also enable M&S to better understand its customers and ultimately increase sales through meaningful insight. This will enable the company to tailor its offers, enhance its omnichannel shopping experience, and ensure that the payment process follows every customer journey.
