Apple Pay now available to Desjardins members and customers
Offering an easy, secureand private way to pay
MONTREAL, Oct. 4, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Desjardins Group today brings Apple Pay to its members and customers, transforming mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay that's fast and convenient.
Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When using a Desjardins Visa credit or prepaid card or a Desjardins Interac debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on the device. Each transaction is authorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
"Desjardins is proud to add Apple Pay to our line of mobile services--our members and clients can now benefit from this secure and easy to use payment service," stated André Chatelain, Executive Vice-President, Personal Services, Payments and Desjardins Group Marketing. "Today, smartphones are basically indispensable and demand for mobile services--mobile payment in particular--is only going to grow."
Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by their credit card.
Online shopping in apps accepting Apple Pay is as simple as the touch of a finger with Touch ID, so there's no need to manually fill out lengthy account forms or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information. When paying for goods and services within apps, Apple Pay is compatible with iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4, iPad Pro and Apple Watch.
Holders of Desjardins Cash Back MasterCards, Cash Back World MasterCards and World Elite MasterCards will be able to use Apple Pay in 2017.
