The last major bank in Canada that didn’t support Google Wallet, TD Bank, has this week finally launched support for NFC payments on Android phones.
TD Bank is one of the biggest financial institutions in Canada, and for a long time has pushed its own mobile payment service in place of Google Wallet (or Google Pay). That did not stop the bank from offering Apple Pay, but Android users were always prevented from using Google’s NFC payments.
Last year, TD Bank announced the shutdown of its own mobile payment service. Customers were reminded of the change via email, with TD then going on to announce that it would open up support for Google Pay and, in turn, Google Wallet on Android devices starting this week.
The email reads:
Thanks Joel!
