It was announced today that One4all has launched the world’s first fully digital multi-store gift card, which can be bought, customised, sent and spent using a smart phone.
Developed at One4all’s head office in Dublin, the One4all Digital Gift Card will be available to spend in over 8,500 stores nationwide and will offer all the same benefits as the traditional One4all Gift Card, while giving both the purchaser and end-user more flexibility.
As part of this new offering, One4all has teamed up with Apple, so that credit on all One4all Digital Gift Cards can be spent via Apple Pay. For Android users, One4all has built its own payment system, which can be accessed using the One4all mobile app.
One4all say this marks a ground-breaking development in the digital rewards and gifting space and will revolutionise the gifting sector in both Ireland and beyond, making it easier than ever for businesses to reward their staff, or for individuals to send a digital gift to family or friends.
One of the major benefits of the new One4all Digital Gift Card is that it will be more accessible than traditional gift cards, as users will be able to spend their available funds using the contactless payment function on their mobile phone or smart device.
While contactless payments on a physical debit card are subject to a €30 threshold per transaction, the One4all Digital Gift Card will allow transactions up to €150, provided the credit is available on your gift card. The user will always have access to their card balance as it will be easily accessible through both the One4all mobile app and the One4all website.
Instant loading is another benefit of the new One4all Digital Gift Card. This means that once a digital gift card is purchased it is available to send immediately from anywhere, at any time, from any smart device or computer. The funds on the gift card will then be available to be redeemed instantly in thousands of outlets including major retailers such as Tesco, Argos, Arnotts, TK Maxx, Debenhams, Pennys, M&S, Halfords and more.
Speaking at the launch of the One4all Digital Gift Card, CEO of One4all, Michael Dawson said, "The One4all Digital Gift Card is a world-first in the multi-store gift card industry and One4all is delighted to be leading the way in this market. It’s safer, more flexible and easier to use than traditional cards and we know that our customers will love using them. The new digital card will also make bulk orders from our business customers more seamless, as it provides businesses with the option to share an instant gift with hundreds or even thousands of employees."
