Walmart continues to continue forward with this financial services. The retailer currently offers a credit card, a reloadable debit card, cash transfers and check cashing.
This isn’t Walmart’s first foray into financial services. “We’re thrilled to work with Ribbit Capital in a new venture to help us deliver innovative and needed options to our customers and associates – with speed and at scale.” And they’ve made it clear they want more from us in the financial services arena,” John Furner, president and CEO, Walmart U.S. “For years, millions of customers have put their trust in Walmart to not only save them money when they shop with us but help them manage their financial needs. The fintech company may grow through partnerships and acquisitions of fintech companies. “When we combine our deep knowledge of technology-driven financial businesses and our ability to move with speed with Walmart’s mission and reach, we can create and deliver financial offerings that are second to none,” Malka said in the statement.
Walmart has a relationship with millions of customers, Malka said in a statement, and this is built on “trust, security and integrity.”
