How Loomis Pay Is Unifying Cash, Card & Digital Payments | NRF 2025
Loomis Pay used its NRF 2025 stage to unveil a unified payments solution that combines cash, card and digital transactions into a single, end‑to‑end package. The fintech arm of the Loomis group, celebrating its fifth anniversary, highlighted its presence in the Nordics and Spain and outlined a Europe‑wide expansion plan. The company’s recent acquisition of Italian cash‑management specialist Chima in October 2023 is central to the offering, adding hardware and software capabilities that close the long‑standing gap between POS digital payments and physical cash handling. Executives described the payments landscape as fragmented and argued that consolidation—both across verticals and borders—is essential for sustainable margins. Loomis Pay emphasized concrete benefits: a single legal, pricing and settlement contract; a unified reporting file that satisfies auditors, insurers and regulators; and an open API layer that lets retailers plug in inventory, ERP and staff‑management systems. Pilot customers reported a one‑third reduction in cash‑handling touch points and a 50 % cut in internal shrinkage, delivering faster, safer cash flows. For retailers, the platform promises operational efficiency, better liquidity visibility and lower risk, while enabling shoppers to pay however they prefer. The move signals a broader industry shift toward integrated, modular fintech ecosystems that can scale across markets and simplify merchant operations.
