Mode enters payments partnership with L.K.Bennett

 

●    L.K.Bennett to offer Mode as a payment option at their online
checkout

●    Customers in the UK can use Mode to make instant payments at
L.K.Bennett and get rewarded in Bitcoin

 

Mode Global Holdings PLC (LSE:MODE), the LSE-listed Fintech Group, is
delighted to announce that it has entered a payments partnership with
L.K.Bennett, a U.K based luxury fashion retailer, which will see the brand
offering Mode as an additional payment option for customers.

 

Through this partnership, Mode will leverage the power of Open Banking to
bring an innovative payments and rewards experience to L.K.Bennett customers,
enabling them to make instant payments and earn rewards, all in one app.

 

The cardless solution will remove the need for customers to enter their card
details or CVVs at checkout. Customers can simply scan a QR code or click a
button, to make payments via the Mode app. Payments will be authorised in real
time through biometric security and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

 

For L.K.Bennett, Mode's mobile payments and loyalty solution can be a more
affordable, safer and smarter alternative to card payments that is catering to
the needs of today's digitally-native modern consumer.

 

Mode recently launched its payments and rewards solution, ahead of schedule,
in October across 30+ brands including ESPA, Myprotein and Zavvi.

 

Ryan Moore, CEO of Mode, commented: "I am delighted to announce our next
partnership just 3 weeks after our ahead-of-schedule public launch with THG.
L.K.Bennett has been a staple of Luxury British Fashion for over 30 years,
which demonstrates Mode's appeal to all sectors. Today's announcement is
another step forward in allowing us to put our innovative payments and loyalty
solution into the hands of millions of UK customers.

 

Darren Topp, CEO of L.K.Bennett, commented: "L.K.Bennett is always looking for
innovative solutions that provide our customers with more options to pay and
cater to their evolving needs as modern, digital driven shoppers. I look
forward to working with Mode to ensure we give them a payment and loyalty
experience they will love."
