TD Canada Trust has introduced a mobile wallet that makes payments a breeze. The mobile wallet allows users to make purchases in-store, online, and in-app using their smartphone.
To use the mobile wallet, customers simply need to download the TD app and add their credit or debit card. This will enable them to make payments with just a tap of their phone.
The mobile wallet also offers a secure way to manage your finances, with features like transaction tracking and account balances at your fingertips.

How it Works
TD Canada Trust's mobile wallet is a game-changer for Canadians who want to make payments easily and conveniently.
The service is integrated into the bank's existing mobile banking application, which is used by over two million customers. This means you can access TD Mobile Payment right from your phone.
To use TD Mobile Payment, you'll need a compatible NFC phone, such as a BlackBerry 9900 or Samsung Galaxy S III. You can then store your credit card information on the SIM issued by your mobile network operator.
You'll need to enter a passcode to access the payment service, adding an extra layer of security to your transactions. This makes it easy to pay for things like your morning coffee or other small purchases.
With TD Mobile Payment, you can make payments of up to $50 at any Visa PayWave terminal. This is a great feature for those who want to make quick and easy payments without having to carry cash or cards.
The service is supported by Canada's three major wireless networks: Bell, Rogers, and Telus. This means you can use TD Mobile Payment on the go, without worrying about compatibility issues.

Security
Security is a top concern when it comes to digital and mobile wallets, and for good reason: many of your credit and debit cards are housed in one place.
The tokenization process is supposed to make transactions more secure, as it generates a unique token for each wallet and device combination, which is used instead of your actual credit card details.

This means your credit card information is never shared with merchants, making transactions more secure theoretically.
The tokenization system creates anonymity in your day-to-day purchases and should provide stronger fraud protection than inputting your card details into a web browser or swiping at a machine.
Apple Pay and Samsung Pay use a physical chip called the secure element to store sensitive data, which is secure because it can't be accessed by the operating system or manufacturers.
Google Pay, on the other hand, uses a cloud-based software secure element system, which is still encrypted but doesn't have the same level of security as the physical chip used by Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Industry
The industry of mobile wallets is a crowded space, with several big players vying for your attention. Apple Pay and Google Pay are two of the most widely used mobile wallets, available on most smartphones.
These juggernauts have a significant advantage over other mobile wallets, as they're embedded right into the operating system of many phones, making it easy to set up and use.

Not all financial institutions support Google Pay, however, with some major banks like RBC and TD Canada Trust missing from the list. This is something to consider when choosing a mobile wallet.
Samsung Pay is another option available in Canada, but it doesn't have full support from all major financial institutions, either.
