>> The result is an innovation that will make the ease of mobile payments a reality for millions of Americans.

I don't think this is an innovation but more of an evolution of an already existing process.

>> ”The Walmart app was built to make shopping faster and easier,”

I have to get wallet from pocket, open it, take out card and swipe - 4 actions.

I have to take phone from pocket, unlock it by tapping the screen 6 times (dont mess up), opening the app(, maybe navigating to the scanner), then scanning - 4+ actions.

That is neither faster nor, in my opinion, easier.
