Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) today announced that it now offers Paze^SM,¹a new online checkout solution to all customers with eligible credit and debit cards.

Paze is an easy and convenient way to shop online, combining customers’ eligible credit and debit cards into a new online checkout solution. Paze features added security because it replaces a card number with a different number, so the 16-digit card number is not shared with the online merchant. Wells Fargo customers can activate Paze in the Wells Fargo Mobile^® app,² or when checking out at a participating online merchant’s website.

In addition to enhancing the online shopping experience, customers don’t have to set up usernames or passwords¹ or download an app.

“We are proud to provide our customers with an online checkout experience that is easy and has added security because their actual card number is not shared with the merchant when using Paze,” said Abeer Bhatia, head of Enterprise Payments and Personal Lending at Wells Fargo. “As more people are making purchases from their phones and laptops, it is paramount to make the experience of checking out online as convenient and safe as possible for our customers.”

How Paze Works

When you’re ready to check out:

Look for the Paze button at online checkout
Enter your email address when prompted
Enter the one-time passcode sent to your mobile number for verification
Choose the card you want to use from your Paze wallet and complete your transaction

“From grocery shopping to impulse buys and major purchases, people across the country are enjoying the convenience of online shopping every day. But too often, they are asked to do so by completing countless fields during guest checkout at merchant websites,” said Catherine Murchie, head of operations, Paze. “By working with our industry-leading bank partners, Paze is a solution that brings simplicity, privacy, without the need to manually enter their credit or debit card numbers, and the added security of tokenization that allows their customers to continue to benefit from the ease of online shopping.”

Paze is available to use through leading merchants, retailers, and restaurants. For a complete list of merchants offering Paze as an online checkout solution, visit the Paze merchant directory.
