Oct 08, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- HES | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- MasterCard Worldwide has announced that independent gasoline-convenience store retailer Hess Corporation will accept MasterCard PayPass at more than 870 company-operated Hess and Hess Express locations along the eastern US.

MasterCard said that in addition to traditional magnetic-stripe payment cards, Hess will accept MasterCard PayPass at check-out counters at these locations by early 2010.

Rick Lawlor, vice president of retail sales and marketing at Hess, said: "Our customers are always looking for greater speed, security and convenience at Hess locations, and increasingly they prefer electronic forms of payment over cash. Accepting MasterCard PayPass means we can meet our customers' needs and continue to enhance the customer experience, which is the Hess way."

Cathleen Conforti, senior vice president of Global PayPass at MasterCard Worldwide, said: "Hess branded locations are the perfect environment for MasterCard PayPass because the value of faster transactions at the point of sale translates directly to busy customers who don't want to spend time waiting in line. As more customers turn to electronic payments over cash, by accepting MasterCard PayPass, Hess is taking another step to meet customer needs, and deliver great customer service and throughput at the register."
