7-Eleven introduces innovative in-app Wallet

7-Eleven Wallet in the app gives customers yet another contactless payment option.

7-Eleven, Inc.'s new app-based mobile wallet offers all customers a contactless, convenient way to pay nationally at participating U.S. stores.

Accessible in the 7-Eleven app, 7-Eleven Wallet customers can securely load funds to use upon checkout using cash, debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and prepaid 7-Eleven gift cards. Cash must be loaded in store at the register, while other payment methods can be loaded in the app. Better yet, 7-Eleven Wallet users are not charged any loading or transaction fees and incur no interest fees like credit cards charge.

"7-Eleven Wallet meets the needs of customers looking for convenient, contactless ways to shop and pay during this unprecedented global pandemic," said 7-Eleven President & CEO, Joe DePinto. "Cash customers want to participate in the growing digital payment ecosystem. 7-Eleven Wallet gives them access to touchless payment along with deep value loyalty offers."

Members are able to earn and shop with points, get exclusive offers, redeem rewards for free merchandise and pay in one easy step, simply by scanning the barcode in the app.

“We want the 7Rewards loyalty program to offer customers extreme value for every dollar spent at their local 7-Eleven store as well as innovative capabilities that enable a fast, frictionless shopping experience,” said 7-Eleven Sr. Director of Product Management Sajjad Khan.

Based in Irving, Texas, 7–Eleven operates, franchises and/or licenses more than 71,800 stores in 17 countries, including 12,000 in North America.
