Booker Group is pleased to announce that eligible Premier, Londis, Budgens, and Family Shopper retailers can now offer their customers a wider range of payment options in-store. This move brings them in line with every major UK supermarket chain and the vast majority of high-street retailers who already accept American Express (Amex) cards.
In collaboration with American Express, Booker Group will provide its store owners with marketing materials and point-of-purchase resources, as well as guidance on how to begin accepting Amex Cards. This agreement is set to bring increased footfall to participating stores and contribute to overall profitability. The inclusion of Amex as a payment option provides shoppers with another compelling reason to choose our Symbol stores, which has been met with enthusiasm by our retailers.
Dan Edelman, Vice President and UK General Manager of Merchant Services at American Express, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We’re pleased to extend Amex’s reach to more of Booker Group’s retail partners, connecting them with Amex’s loyal and high-spending Cardmembers. With more places than ever accepting Amex in the UK, we are committed to ensuring our Cardmembers can conveniently use their cards wherever they choose to shop.”
This new collaboration between Booker Group and American Express will undoubtedly enhance the overall customer experience, facilitate ease of payment, and further solidify our position as a leading player in the retail industry.
