BMO, TD, Scotiabank Apple Pay Launch Confirmed for June 1 [u]

As expected, TD, Scotiabank and BMO will launch Apple Pay tomorrow, confirms the Toronto Star, in a story titled “All Big 5 Banks Join Apple Pay Club”:

As of Wednesday, BMO, TD and Scotiabank, join the others in allowing customers to allow users to pay for purchases by holding their phones up to payment terminals.

Earlier today, we told you TD would launch Apple Pay tomorrow, and now it is confirmed (sources say an 8:30AM EDT launch time, wait and see).

The Star also reports Canadian Tire will launch in-app payments for Apple Pay, joining ATB Financial, who confirmed this earlier today.

Earlier this month, RBC and CIBC were the first Canadian banks to launch Apple Pay support for Visa, MasterCard and Interac. The mobile wallet first launched in Canada last fall limited to American Express cardholders.

Apple Pay works on an iPhone 6 or newer or Apple Watch (paired with an iPhone) at retailers, while an iPad Air 2 or newer, iPad mini 3 or newer and iPad Pro can make in-app purchases with the mobile wallet.

Get ready, folks!
