Coast Capital Savings Launches Apple Pay for Debit and Credit [u]
Coast Capital Savings has launched Apple Pay for debit and credit card users, making it the first credit union in Canada to support the mobile wallet. The announcement comes after the credit union started teased yesterday on social media something big was set to launch today; many customers suspected Apple Pay was coming.
Coast Capital Savings says you can load your card on up to five devices, and for debit users, a Flash-enabled card is not required. At point of sale terminals in stores, transaction limits are $100 per debit and credit card purchase, but may differ depending on merchants.
Card verification is via email or by phone. If you choose the email verification option, you’ll receive a six-digit one-time password (expires in 24 hours) to enter into the Wallet app.
Apple Pay works on an iPhone SE or newer, Apple Watch paired with an iPhone 5 or newer, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or newer, iPad mini 3 or newer.
Last year, other credit unions in Canada launched their own Mobile Pay solution, instead of supporting Apple Pay or Android Pay. Looks like Coast Capital Savings made a good decision to opt out and support Apple Pay instead.
Let us know how your Apple Pay setup goes with Coast Capital. Apple should be updating their Apple Pay support document soon to list Coast Capital Savings.
Thanks Alberto!

Another major VPN provider is pushing back hard against Ottawa's controversial surveillance bill. Proton VPN came out swinging Tuesday against Bill C-22, warning that the legislation "empowers the government to order VPN providers in Canada to retain metadata for up to a year."

Doesn’t seem to work with iPad Pro. Gives me a message indicating that it can only be used with purchases on iPhone or Apple Watch.
Weird. Their documentation states iPad Pro is supported. We’ll get back with an answer.
For credit cards only I guess
Debit cards are not supported for in-app purchases and therefore not supported on the iPad. Credit cards should work fine. You can find this info on coast capital website in the FAQ section of Apple Pay.
Ah. Thanks! I hadn’t read through the details. Guess I just got too excited. Wish it would work for in-app purchases, but I guess I understand why not (at least for now).
Need more banks to set up the debit option.
Meanwhile, at the Capital One headquarters: “zzzzzzzz….”
Desjardins no longer considered a CU?
It is. The article should have read “the second credit union in Canada to support the mobile wallet”.

Somewhat related… PC Financial banking is no more and will to be rebranded with a new CIBC brand. Maybe that new brand will finally allow us to use debit with Apple Pay. PC Financial MasterCard is unaffected.
Still waiting for CUETS Mastercard to jump on it already.
