Regions customers can use this new payment product to load an existing Regions card to Android Pay and use those cards to make purchases in stores that accept contactless payments.
Android Pay is supported by industry standard tokenization, which does not transmit actual credit or debit card numbers with a payment. Instead, a virtual account number is used to represent the customer’s account information—providing an improved layer of security. Additional security features also comprise payment confirmations and the Android Device Manager, which allows users to lock a device remotely, secure it with a new password or wipe it clean of personal information if the phone is ever stolen or lost.

To meet consumers’ changing expectations and preferences, McDonald’s ( MCD) declared that it will fully transition to cage-free eggs for its nearly 16,000 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada over the next 10 years.
On an annual basis, McDonald’s USA purchases about two billion eggs and McDonald’s Canada purchases 120 million eggs to serve on its breakfast menus, which comprises popular breakfast sandwiches, such as the Egg McMuffin and Egg White Delight. Since 2011, McDonald’s USA has been purchasing more than 13 million cage-free eggs annually.
Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch, a family-owned and operated farm in Michigan, has worked with McDonald’s for decades to supply nutritious eggs. “Cage-free systems play an important role in our work to keep hens healthy and meet the growing consumer demand for responsibly-sourced food,” said Greg Herbruck, executive vice president of Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch. “We welcome McDonald’s actions to continue these efforts and are happy to join them in sourcing cage-free eggs across their supply chain. We continue embracing new technologies and strategies to ensure our hens are well-cared for.
In 2000, McDonald’s USA was the first food service company to adopt a standard for hen housing systems, which offered more space per bird than the industry standard. In 2010, the company initiated research with the Coalition for a Sustainable Egg Supply to better understand the impact of various hen housing systems on animal health and welfare, the environment, worker health, food safety and food affordability. This research offered important insights into the trade-offs of various housing systems for the company to make informed sourcing decisions.
McDonald’s Corporation operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the United States, Europe, the Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Canada, and Latin America. The company’s restaurants offer various food products, soft drinks, coffee, and other beverages.
