Currently, CIBC is the only bank Canada to offer a mobile payment app in partnership with two major carriers in the country.
CIBC senior vice-president of payments strategy and innovation, Todd Roberts, said: "Our clients have embraced mobile technology as part of their banking experience, and we believe 2014 will be a year of significant growth for mobile payments as more Canadians start reaching for their phone instead of their wallet at the checkout counter."
Telus vice-president of market planning, Drazen Lalovic, said: "This partnership with CIBC offers Telus customers simple but powerful new ways to make everyday purchases. Our customers have told us they want an easy-to-use and secure way to pay using their mobile devices and today’s announcement is another step towards enhancing their mobile experience."
