Costa Coffee to test out Flux tech

Costa Coffee is working with paperless receipts and digital rewards startup Flux, with an initial trial phase of its platform set to take place in central London stores. This will begin with a phase of cashback offers via Flux's challenger bank partners Starling and Monzo.

Flux, which also counts Eat and Pod as customers, is also partnering with Barclays Launchpad, the bank's platform for testing new features with customers. Ruchir Rodrigues, Managing Director, Digital and Open Banking at Barclays, comments: “We are thrilled to see a member of our 2017 Barclays Accelerator programme successfully integrate with the Launchpad mobile banking app. This is yet another sign of our commitment to working with exciting partners to bring new and innovative products and services to our customers.”

Eric Tavoukdjian, Commercial Marketing Director for Costa Coffee UK and Ireland, says: “We’re delighted to be working with Flux, an innovative supplier giving great value and solutions to customers.”
