Apple Pay seems to be more widely available and I find myself using it 6 out of 10 times here in the mid-Atlantic region. The majority of the times its easier as you don't have to endure as many button pushes/P.O.S. screens.
Walmart Pay is CurrentC all over again with a different name and still the same horrible user experience (download an app, open the app at the register.. give your phone to cashier to scan then go thru all this other POS motions?). As well the underlying fact why Walmart is pushing this to fatten their bottom lines vs. focusing on moving the needle forward for their consumers. Whether it's Apple Pay or another built in Pay service in one's phone no other downloadable app can provide the same world class user experience.
- coldcode 11y agoI believe it is CurrentC, at least Walmart was the leader in starting that in the first place. The whole point of this system is to know exactly who is buying what at Walmart. With Apple Pay (or similar) the store has no clue.

- tssva 11y agoAccording to the Walmart press release you will not need to hand over your phone for it to be scanned. Instead you keep the phone and scan a code displayed by the register.
