The company added that customers will also be able to add multiple cards to their suretap wallet including a Rogers Prepaid MasterCard that can be topped up with funds for mobile payments.
Going forward, the suretap wallet application will also offer more retailer gift cards, as well as store loyalty cards, coupons and ID cards.
According to Rogers, the new suretap wallet application will enable customers to add funds to their prepaid card, check account balances, view transaction history and use location-based features to find retailers nearby that accept contactless payments.
Rogers Communications vice president of transaction services, Jeppe Dorff, said: "Our customers are inseparable from their smartphones, and we know they are ready and want to use them to make payments. With the suretap wallet, their smartphones and wallets will now be one and the same.
