Much in the same fashion as Rogers did one year ago, TELUS is introducing NFC-enabled SIM cards to be used for mobile banking services. The new SIM will be available on October 10th though sadly it looks like it will only be compatible with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 - not any BlackBerry 10 devices (at least for now).
Customers will be able to use the suretype/CIBC Mobile Banking app to pay for purchases using NFC with the new SIM card. According to the document, additional details on eligible banks will be made available at launch.
TELUS customers - would you use an NFC-enabled SIM? Let us know in the comments!
