Sports Authority, an Englewood, Colo.-based company that operates more than 450 stores in 45 states, is the latest chain to begin accepting MasterCard PayPass contactless card in addition to traditional mag stripe cards.
Sports Authority customers now will be able to tap their PayPass-enabled MasterCard or device on a contactless reader at the check-out counters. They also don’t need to sign receipts for purchases less than $25.
“Accepting MasterCard PayPass will help keep our check-out lines short, so customers spend less time waiting in line when they make their purchases,” said Tom McVey, Sports Authority’s senior vice president, store operations.
