CIBC and TELUS today announced the launch of the CIBC Mobile Payment App to TELUS mobile devices with Near-Field Communications (NFC) capability, allowing more Canadians to have access to mobile payments. Using this system, you’ll be able to pay for anything from a coffee to groceries using your phone as long as you have a CICB credit card account and a supported phone. CIBC credit card clients using the following devices on the TELUS network will be able to download the CIBC Mobile Payment App from Google Play beginning today:
- Samsung Galaxy S4
- Samsung Galaxy SIII
- Samsung Galaxy Note II
- HTC One
Users of the following BlackBerry devices on the TELUS network will have access to the CIBC Mobile Payment App later this month:
- BlackBerry Z10
- BlackBerry Q10
- BlackBerry Bold 9900
So if you’re already a CIBC and Telus customer with a supported phone and a CIBC credit card, download the app and give it a try. I think you’ll find it to be very handy.
