Canadian communications and media company Rogers has received certification from MasterCard and Visa for its suretap service for the Android and BlackBerry 10 operating systems.

The certification allows credentials issuers including banks, loyalty and reward programs to develop mobile payment solutions for Android and BlackBerry 10 devices that leverage the SIM card in an NFC-enabled device. Rogers’ suretap service enables smartphones to perform payments on mobile devices and is accepted at MasterCard PayPass and Visa payWave contactless terminals across Canada.

In recent news, Canadian financial services provider CIBC and Rogers have completed their first point-of-sale mobile credit card transaction in Canada using the SIM card inside an NFC-enabled smartphone.
