They can also add Canadian retailers including Swiss Chalet, Milestones Grill and Bar, Montana’s Cookhouse, Harvey’s, Kelsey’s, Indigo, Earls Restaurants, Ardene, and Spafinder Wellness 365. In the future, the suretap wallet application will offer more retailer gift cards, as well as store loyalty cards, coupons and ID cards.
Utilizing Rogers’ suretap wallet application, customers can add funds to their prepaid card, check account balances, view transaction history and use location-based features to find retailers nearby that accept contactless payments.
Rogers said the app is available for download on select Android and BlackBerry 10 smartphones that include near-field-communications capabilities.
There will be no additional or new fees to merchants and retailers for accepting mobile payments with the suretap wallet.
The company says there will be no security issues.
