WOONSOCKET, R.I. – CVS Health has launched the CVS Pay mobile payment solution. CVS Pay is now part of the CVS Pharmacy mobile app, with integrated payment, prescription pickup and the ExtraCare loyalty program all in one scan at checkout.

“Over the past year, our digital team has brought to market numerous new digital tools like CVS Pay that make shopping at CVS Pharmacy easier and more convenient,” said Brian Tilzer, senior vice president and chief digital officer for CVS Health. “We’ve been excited by the level of customer adoption of these digital solutions, and we will continue our quick pace of innovation and deployment to make our customers' health care experience even easier.”

CVS Pay is currently available in select markets, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. A nationwide rollout is expected to kick off later this year. The solution is available on iOS and Android devices.

CVS joins Wal-Mart as another major retailer getting into its own mobile payment option. Convenience stores have begun accepting mobile payments, including ExxonMobile, which partnered with Apple Pay, and GC Express, which joined with Team One Credit Union to use its mobile banking app.
