Marks and Spencer is more than tripling the number of stores offering its Mobile Pay Go technology.

As part of its 'Never the Same Again' transformation strategy, the scan-and-go system has been rolled out to 310 stores - from the initial 100 test sites mostly in and around London.

Driven by the shift towards contactless payments during the pandemic, the retailer claimed that over 10,000 new customers have used Mobile Pay Go since March, with customers in Belfast, Aberystwyth, Falkirk and Dover now getting access to the technology.

“As part of our Never the Same Again programme, we’re accelerating the pace of our transformation – and that includes creating digitally connected stores that are fit for the future,” said Helen Milford, M&S director of stores.

“This rollout takes our increasingly popular Mobile Pay Go technology nationwide for the first time, allowing more customers to enjoy a seamless checkout-free experience through the M&S app."

Retail should not be a high-risk occupation. As a company, we are focused on listening to our colleagues and customers to help them with the issues they are facing in-store and so far, the feedback on our body cameras has been excellent. They act as a great visual deterrent, help to de-escalate situations and overall, this project has significantly aided our goal to make the retail environment safer.
