MCX Member Meijer To Allow Apple Pay In Its Stores

While Apple and Google have been rivals in the mobile scene, it seems that fans from both camps have banded together against MCX’s CurrentC mobile payment method. This is due to the fact that MCX will not allow the use of competing mobile payment methods which effectively takes away the options of those using either Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or Softcard.

That being said, it looks like at least one member of MCX has bravely decided to stand up to its members. The retailer in question is Meijer who has recently told Michigan Live that they will not be stopping the use of Apple Pay in its stores, despite the fact that they are part of the MCX group.

MCX has denied that they will be imposing fines on its members for not following its rules, and we guess it’s true otherwise Meijer would probably not have gone through with their decision to allow Apple Pay. According to A Meijer spokesman, “We have had the technology in our stores to accept mobile wallets for several years now. If a customer has Apple Pay capability, our hardware works with it. We don’t plan to remove or disable these systems.”

Whether or not other retailers will eventually give in remains to be seen, but for now if you’re a shopper at Meijer, you can go ahead and use Apple Pay if that’s your preferred method.
