Starting today, consumers can pay using the mobile payment service SEQR at all
Colruyt Group stores in Belgium. This includes close to 500 stores at Colruyt,
Okay, Bio-Planet, Cru, Dreamland and Dream Baby and affiliated independent Spar
stores. Colruyt Group is one of Belgium's largest chain stores with an annual
turnover of close to € 9 billion.
It was last autumn that Colruyt Group and SEQR started their collaboration. The
first tests were made at selected e-commerce platforms and the cooperation has
gradually expanded to now include all physical stores. So far, over 10,000
payments have been registered at Colruyt Group and the number of transactions
increases every day, which have caused them to speed up the roll-out of the
service in its stores.
