What you need to know

More than 1.5 million customers use the Argos store card and spend over £700 million pounds annually. Argos wanted to create a platform for its customers to easily manage their account, make payments and adjust credit limits, while also providing loyal customers with clear benefits and drive engagement.

The result is the My Argos Card App, which has changed the way customers manage their accounts. It has been downloaded a million times and has 500,000 monthly active users, becoming a huge new payment channel for the business.

The app has been a phenomenal success, becoming the biggest payment channel within our company a month after its launch.

How we moved the market

To ensure the My Argos Card app could deliver seamless, secure payment data, Apadmi's team had to integrate new technology with several complex legacy IT systems in a highly regulated financial services environment, all while not losing sight of the user experience.

Not only did 80% of Argos store card customers start using the app, it also delivered added value through reduced calls to customer services, reduced fraudulent activity and it cut down paperwork as vouchers and statements were delivered digitally.
