Blackhawk Network president and CEO Talbott Roche said: “This is a significant agreement for Blackhawk Network and we’re pleased to extend our very successful relationship with Tesco to its corporate gift card provision.

“With the tried and tested CashStar platform already powering programmes for many of the world’s best-known brands, we have the perfect solution offering both Tesco and its B2B customers a convenient and seamless experience.

“From a business perspective, this is another positive step for us as we continue to scale up our growth ambitions in the UK.”

Tesco launched digital gift card service in 2015. The service allows its corporate customers to purchase buy cards for marketing programmes, employee reward, customer loyalty and other reasons.

Tesco Bank head of gift cards Ban Mahsoub said: “We’re delighted to be making this agreement with Blackhawk Network which will see the delivery of our corporate gift card programme through the CashStar platform, and we look forward to working together on this exciting opportunity.”
