NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- American Express today announced McDonald's USA as the latest national merchant partner to accept ExpressPay from American Express. Cardholders can use ExpressPay at more than 12,000 McDonald's restaurants nationwide.
ExpressPay from American Express is a fast contactless payment option that consists of a secure computer chip powered by radio frequency technology. The feature is an easy-to-use alternative to cash for making everyday purchases at merchants where speed and convenience are important -- such as quick service restaurants, supermarkets, drug stores and gas stations.
American Express was the first issuer to launch contactless cards nationally with the rollout of Blue from American Express® with the ExpressPay feature in June 2005. ExpressPay is also embedded in the Clear from American Express(SM) Card and available via a key fob that can be linked to any American Express® Card. Users simply hold the Card or key fob with ExpressPay next to a special reader near the register to complete a purchase.....
