Visa welcomed at Myanmar's Capital Hypermart
Shopping has become more convenient and reliable at all Capital Hypermarket and Supermarket branches across the country, as the chain teams up with Visa and CB Bank to accept Visa cards.
Now local and foreign customers can pay with their internationally-issued Visa prepaid, debit and credit cards at seven Capital branches, with eventual rollout to 93 Grab & Go convenience stores and four restaurants nationwide.
“We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers. Accepting card payment makes it more convenient for our customers and, at the same time, streamlines the checkout process, freeing up our staff members to serve other customers,” said Daw Thwe Thwe Moe, general manager, Capital Hypermart.
Part of the Capital Diamond Star Group, the first Capital Hypermart opened its door in 2008 at Thaketa Township in Yangon, which, along with Capital Hypermart in Nay Pyi Taw, is the first and largest hypermarket in the country.
Since entering Myanmar in 2012, Visa has tirelessly helped Myanmar financial institutions and merchants to grow their businesses. Currently, there are more than 2,300 point-of-sale (POS) acceptance points and 1,400 ATMs accepting Visa cards.
"We hope to continue this upward trajectory as we work with our partners, so electronic payments will be available for all people of Myanmar," said Arturo Planell, Visa country manager, Myanmar.
