Farm Fresh Expands Payment Options

Farm Fresh Supermarkets, based in Virginia Beach, Va., and a division of the Supervalu grocery network, has expanded its services to the unbanked and underbanked consumer. The retailer, which operates 44 stores in Virginia and one in Elizabeth City, N.C., enhanced its walk-in bill-payment services by adding the full range of services offered by Brookfield, Wis.-based Check-FreePay. In addition to being able to pay personal bills such as credit-card accounts and utility bills, consumers will also have the option of expediting payment through NextDay or emergency-service options.
