"Retail implementation of the program is simple because payment processing takes place within InComm's proprietary network, without lengthy integration or new hardware to install at a retailer's point-of-sale," said David Vielehr, General Manager of InComm Healthcare and Affinity. "We are very pleased to partner with AARP to provide added value to its membership base."
The 37 million Americans who belong to AARP have transitioned to a membership card that has a "swipe-and-save" functionality across a variety of merchants and retailers. The point-of-sale discounts are powered by InComm Healthcare and Affinity's Enhanced Payment Platform, which combines open- and closed-loop transaction networks with a UPC (universal product code) level rules-based engine. The rules-based engagement platform provides a single point of integration for third-party restricted-spend programs. For retailers, the platform can support multiple sponsors, payment types and payers for each program, significantly expanding the scope of the member benefit. For brands, it creates a new level of integration into the retail experience.Â
