Rogers and CIBC showed off their CIBC Mobile Payments App a little bit ago and made the grand reveal. Now Jack let us know that the CIBC Mobile Payment App is now in App World for all. It works with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Curve 9360 when you have a NFC SIM card from Rogers.
Features include:
- Pay for credit card purchases up to $50
- Accepted at thousands of participating locations in Canada and abroad. Just look for the contactless symbol at checkout.
- Ability to lock the CIBC Mobile Payment App with an optional passcode
- Cardholder protection for unauthorized transactions*
- Trusted encryption technology to store your credit card on the chip in your smartphone
- Track your mobile purchases on your CIBC credit card statement, or through online or mobile banking
- Accumulate rewards with a CIBC rewards credit card
