Rogers and CIBC to launch Canadian mobile payment solution today
CIBC and Rogers Communications are gearing up to launch Canada's first joint mobile payment solution, allowing Canadians to pay with their CIBC credit card at the checkout counter using their Rogers "Near Field Communications" (NFC) enabled smartphone. Customers will be able to use this payment capability at merchants across Canada where contactless credit card payments are accepted. The service launches today with Olympian Simon Whitfield.
