The Zoompass Tag and your Mobile Phone: All you need to Make Purchases

Dave Fleet — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:00:58 +0000

Today we’re excited to announce a monumental development to Zoompass: the launch of the Zoompass Tag!

The Zoompass Tag is a wireless payment device designed in the form of a sticker that can be attached to a mobile phone. Now, select Zoompass users will need only their mobile phone with the Zoompass Tag to access their mobile cash account and make purchases at retail stores. Zoompass users will be able to simply tap their phones on a contactless reader at point of sale to make purchases – just like a PayPass-enabled credit card. We’re one step closer to allowing Zoompass users to forget their wallets at home – on purpose!

As Robin Dua, President of EnStream says, “All Zoompass users will soon be able to pay for their morning coffee, gas at the pump, and launch at a fast-food restaurant with a quick tap of their phone.”

This trial is being offered to select Zoompass users to evaluate the many aspects of the mobile payment experience and shape the way Canadians pay for goods and services in the future. We’re excited to be one step closer to our goal of enabling every Canadian access to their wallet through an integrated, rich and user-friendly interface anywhere, anytime, safely and securely on their mobile phone.

EnStream’s own VP of Strategic Partnerships Aran Hamilton talked to Tech Vibes Karim Kanji, for their Mobile Monday install, about the future of Zoompass and the mobile industry. It seems that as of late, the mobile commerce industry has erupted with various mobile payment platforms. According to Aran, “Zoompass is different from other payment solutions in that it was designed specifically for the mobile channel and as such it was designed to take advantage of the capabilities of mobile phones and for mobile phones.” Zoompass is a Canadian product that having been launched by Canada’s leading wireless carriers, “takes advantage of a great deal of resident expertise and knowledge of building great mobile experiences”.

The Zoompass product has also been widely embraced by the Toronto social media community and Aran speaks to this saying, “within one city we have world-class thinkers and workers in the areas of software, telecommunications, media, social media, human computer interface design, medicine, social responsibility, and finance among other industries – this is a really great place to be!”. It’s clear that Zoompass holds the key for the future of mobile commerce here in Canada and as Aran mentions in the article we have some huge developments coming over the course of the next year. For all the exciting news and updates you can sign up at www.Zoompass.com, stay tuned to our Facebook page or follow us on twitter @Zoompass.
