JCPenney Now Accepts Apple Pay Nationwide

JCPenney has announced that it now accepts Apple Pay at stores nationwide. The Company will also make its credit card available on Apple Pay, which allows credit card users to earn shopping points through JCPenney Rewards, the retailer's customer loyalty program.

"With Apple Pay at JCPenney, we're able to offer a faster, more seamless check out process by allowing our customers to pay for their purchases by simply holding their iPhone or Apple Watch near a point-of-sale terminal, rather than inserting a chip card," said Therace Risch, chief information officer for JCPenney. "And with the added convenience of our credit card as a payment option via Apple Pay, we're giving customers another compelling reason to join our credit card and loyalty programs."

JCPenney point-of-sale registers now process all Apple Pay supported credit and debit bank cards, including the Company's credit card and co-branded Mastercard, both issued by Synchrony Bank and available to use with Apple Pay. Coming soon, customers with the JCPenney app on iPhone and iPad will have the option to complete their purchases using Apple Pay.


"We're always looking for new ways to leverage innovative technology solutions to deliver convenient and secure mobile payments for our retail partners," said Carol Juel, executive vice president and chief information officer, Synchrony Financial. "With the JCPenney credit card and the JCPenney Mastercard now ready to use with Apple Pay, the customer experience is taken to a whole new level."
