THE Co-operative Food has quadrupled the number of stores with PayPoint facilities and now offers the service in almost 12,000 branches across the UK. The group handled more than £1bn of PayPoint transactions last year.
Seamus Smith, managing director of PayPoint UK, said: “We are thrilled at extending the PayPoint service with The Co-operative Food, with the service now available in most of its stores. Independent research shows just what a valuable service PayPoint is to customers; for example, more than 30% of transactions take place outside traditional working hours, including Sundays and bank holidays.”
