Monday 31 August 2009 07:04 CET | News

Virgin Mobile Canada and m-commerce services provider EnStream have launched Zoompass, a mobile money transfer service.

In order to be able to send money using their Zoompass account, Virgin Mobile customers can link a personal bank account or credit card, plug in to Zoompass on their computer or download the Zoompass application to their phone. Zoompass users can send and receive money using their mobile phone, as well as check their account balance and review their transaction history.

With Zoompass, Virgin Mobile Canada customers can send money to anyone belonging to a participating Canadian wireless carrier, including those who do not have a Zoompass account yet. The latter receive a notification on their mobile phone when they receive money, being asked to register. The service also enables customers to pay for products in stores or online using the balance of their Zoompass account with the Zoompass Prepaid MasterCard which is accepted at any location which displays the MasterCard logo.

Virgin Mobile Canada is a wireless communications services provider, a joint venture between Virgin Group and Bell Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Mobility.

A joint venture company owned by Canadian wireless operators Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications and TELUS Corporation, EnStream focuses on developing mobile payment capabilities that work with existing credit, debit and prepaid capabilities offered by financial institutions and across wireless carriers.
