Digital Transactions Authoritative, insightful and timely information for payments professionals
As e-commerce volumes climb, Early Warning Services LLC has been pushing its Paze online checkout service in a national campaign that started earlier this month. The latest chapter in that effort arrived early Tuesday with the news that Paze will award a $10 statement credit to users who use the service to spend $10 or more at participating merchants. T
The payout, capped at $100, is scheduled to appear on the user’s statement within two billing cycles. Users can earn the credit on multiple cards, according to Early Warning.
Paze’s promotion, which runs through Sept. 10, is good at a number of merchants and restaurants, including Dunkin’, Domino’s, StubHub, and Wendy’s. Besides eateries, participating sellers include 1-800 Flowers, United Airlines, and Harry & David, Early Warning says.
The marketing push comes as Paze has attracted more than 200 million U.S. credit and debit cards eligible for checkout. Underscoring ease and convenience, Early Warning has also stressed speedy checkouts as well as simplicity, as it seeks to add to that user tally.
Paze is supported by Early Warning’s owner banks, which include Bank of America, Capital One, JP Morgan Chase, PNC Bank, Truist, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo. The payment processors Deluxe, Payfinia, Nuvei, FIS, and Fiserv have also signed on to make the service available through their merchant clients.
Early Warning, which offers the Zelle peer-to-peer payments network, on June 1 launched a major advertising effort for Paze, featuring actresses Elizabeth Banks and Gabrielle Union in roles aimed at demonstrating the simplicity of using Paze to buy online.
