Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. WMT recently disclosed its continued efforts to bring Wal-Mart Pay across the nation; the superstore has announced it launched the service in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and New Mexico.
As a result, Wal-Mart intends to see the service available in 25 of its stores in Idaho, 65 in Washington, 30 stores in Oregon and 40+ in New Mexico. More openings are to come.
The retailer's SVP, Services, Daniel Eckert, said, "We can't wait to hear what our customers and associates in Washington think of Walmart Pay. The service was built to make shopping easier and faster, something we know our customers want."
He added, "Walmart Pay is a powerful addition to our app, a tool that we're using to transform the shopping experience by seamlessly connecting our online assets and our stores for customers. The service opens the door to new and better ways we can serve the 140 million customers who shop our stores each week."
Payment apps gained momentum after Apple Inc. AAPL launched Apple Pay in October 2014. More firms have come up with their own payment app to attract consumers.
Wal-Mart closed Thursday's regular trading session up 0.77 percent on the day at $73.02.
