The supermarket giant has launched Clubcard Pay+, a new debit card that will ‘give shoppers the confidence to start saving’, reports BirminghamLive .

Using the card will allow customers to 'save as they shop' the supermarket says.
Tesco started trialling Clubcard Pay+ last year, with employees and around 45,000 shoppers taking part in the testing.
The debit card can be used via Apple Pay and is also available through Tesco's digital wallet. The card allows shoppers to add their shopping budget into their Tesco Clubcard Pay+ account via the free Tesco Bank app.
They can then spend it in store, encouraging them to stick to their budget.
Gerry Mallon, Tesco Bank chief executive, said: "Tesco Bank has designed a smarter way for Tesco’s 20 million Clubcard members to shop. Tesco Clubcard Pay+ is a clear demonstration of Tesco Bank’s strategy to focus on products which closely align to the needs of Tesco shoppers.
“We’re very encouraged to see Tesco Clubcard Pay+ help give shoppers the confidence to start saving while managing their budget and picking up extra Clubcard Points wherever they shop.”
Alessandra Bellini, chief customer officer at Tesco, added: “Tesco Clubcard Pay+ combines a new method of payment with all the value of Clubcard membership and a range of additional features.
“It enables households across the UK to feel more in control of their finances and their grocery budget. It also gives families and shoppers the power to make their money go further through Clubcard points and saving while they shop.”
