SHOPPERS can now use their smartphones to pay at the checkout counter following a partnership between bwallet and Lulu Bahrain Hypermarkets to provide secure and convenient cashless payments … with special rewards included.

Users will get a five per cent cashback on all purchases by scanning a QR code to complete purchases.   

As reported earlier, bwallet was launched earlier this year by FinTech enabler AFS, in partnership with telecom giant Batelco.

Director of Lulu Group, Juzer Rupawala, said: “bwallet is a great FinTech payment solution that will enable customers to move with the times in their commercial transactions. Lulu Hypermarket has always been quick to embrace change and modern solutions and we are very happy to partner with bwallet for our customers.”
