Payzone UK has embarked on a significant expansion into the High Street in partnership with 99p Stores and Commidea. The deal will see Payzone provide mobile top-ups directly through 99p Stores’ EPoS system in over 180 current High Street retail locations, including Family Bargain Outlets.
With 25,000 terminals already in retail locations across the UK, Payzone is well positioned to provide its services to 99p Stores’ expanding network of shops.
The partnership will complement 99p Stores’ existing PAYG SIM sales, with customers able to activate SIM cards and buy top-up instantly. It will also create a new revenue stream for both 99p Stores and Payzone.
Gerry Loughran at 99p Stores commented, “We’re excited about the partnership with Payzone as we always look to offer our customers convenient new products. Since we opened our first store in 2001 we have expanded across the UK and introduced 3,500 new product lines. Sales of SIM cards have already proved popular so giving customers the option to buy mobile-ups as well really completes the service.”
Mobile top-ups are available now in all 99p Stores and Family Bargain Outlets.
