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

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

The Zoompass TagToday 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.

Another Way to Use Zoompass…

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

A few days ago, we noticed a posting on RedFlagDeals from someone wondering about the cheapest ways to send money. We were ecstatic to see that someone recommended Zoompass!

Zoompass is a great way to make your online purchases safely and securely. All purchases on using the Zoompass Prepaid MasterCard are backed by MasterCard.

And if you want to make a purchase based on an ad from an e-commerce site like Craigslist, eBay, or Kijiji, Zoompass is great for transactions between buyers and sellers! It eliminates the need to exchange cash in a public place, just Zoom the money to the seller.
