Desjardins customers can now use their Mastercard credit cards with Apple Pay, joining Visa and Interac debit cards. Apple Pay launched last October for Desjardins customers.
iPhone in Canada reader Marc let us know a couple weeks ago he was able to add his Desjardins Mastercard to Apple Pay, but could not activate it. But as of today, he said the card was activated for Apple Pay successfully.
Desjardins also updated their website to note the addition of Mastercard support for Apple Pay.

National Bank only supports MasterCard right now, but apparently debit card support is coming soon. One employee told me she heard december was the target for that.
Finally! It’s activated on my iPhone and Watch. It was a painless activation with a code sent to my email; no long phone call with them. I’m gonna try it tonight.
