Although it's coming incredibly later than expected, Rogers has now updated their Suretap Wallet app for BlackBerry 10. The update, which is available in BlackBerry World right now, brings NFC Payment support through the Rogers Suretap system on both the BlackBerry Z30 and the BlackBerry Q10.
As an added bonus, from now until January 6th, you can receive a free $100 credit when you download the Rogers Prepaid MasterCard to your Suretap Wallet. Keep in mind, you do need a Rogers NFC enabled SIM in order to make use of the app. If you're looking for the full details, check out the Rogers site.

Rogers Suretap Wallet updated to support the BlackBerry Z30 and Q10
No love for Passport! Still don't understand how hard for Rogers to make a Q10 app to be compatible with Passport? :(
Posted via BlackBerry Passport.
On my Rogers Z30 downloaded and up and running in about 10 minutes. Now if CIBC would get there act together for us Z30 and Passport owners on their app that would be nice.

I can't seem to get the latest update. Every time I download it on my z30, it shows back up on BlackBerry World. I have a NFC sim with the latest OS release from Rogers.
Any idea why I can't get the update?

^The update for Suretap *

Is there a per transaction fee in addition to the $36/yr ($2.50/month) maintenance fee? This would explain Rogers "giving away" $100. Lol.
Posted via CB10
No, no per transaction fee.
Why would they give away a C note? that's a huge gift,there must be a catch.If I use my Premium cards do I still get my Rewards?Cash Back airmiles ect...
Oh!! the Catch...you will be charged $2.50 per month ,Maintenance Fee,as long as the card is active,get it ,spend it ,Dump it,lol
Exactly my plan... Download and setup was easy on my Z10.
Posted via CB10
Don't forget the $10 cancellation fee. So in essence, they have given you 24 months of maintenance fees (at $2.5/mo) and 15 top-ups (at $2/ea) for a grand total of $100. Not bad if you think of it in that context...
I want to use a similar app for the US. Anyone know of one?

I'm with Roger's, just downloaded and registered. Rogers prepaid mastercard show $100 balance. Thanks Rogers.
Posted via CB10
Can you use it for online shopping?
Posted via CB10
The app is crap! Very difficult to get it to register and if you Uninstall and re-download per Rogers sure tap support your pass code will no longer work to log back in. It's been a week and nothing from Rogers department. Tried the current app update, same problem. You can't even reset your code yourself, you need to call roger and have them reset it however same problem still. I'm using z10 on roger official OS. Anyone get it to work and using the 100$ preloaded Rogers card?
Posted via CB10
Now if someone can please tell me how to make the wheel of death stop spinning to let me add my own credit cards, I'd be all set! Everything else seems to work like a charm...
Posted via CB10
This is hilarious if you you're an Apple Pay user Step 1: launch Apple Pay
Step 2: Take a picture of your credit card (Apple Pay will read the numbers from the picture)
Step 3: Enter the verification code from your credit card provider that will be emailed to you.
Done.
Bonus, if you lose your physical credit card your cc company will issue you a new one via mail. Apple Pay will update your card number to the new card before your physical card arrives... infact it was near instantaneous (after I got off the phone with my cc company)

Finally.

Damn it Rogers - where's the love for the PassPort. Can't be too hard to modify the app for use on it.

There is two layers of encryption, as the card is stored in a secure area of the sure tap sim card and then it's only shared between you and the issuing bank or org.

Telus has NFC SIM cards now, they just aren't up to date with the banking apps.
Posted via CB10 on Z30 (Telus)
No please no. I just want to use my plastic card. I don't want everything digitised man.
Posted via CB10
And traceable, trackable and haha, hackable probably too. :-)

I got this update while back but during the process it said my Sim card is not compatible which is complete bull because when I had my 1st z10 I was trying to use my old chip and they said I need a new one for this specific feature, now z30 it's the same chip and I'm sure it says sure tab on it but eh
Don't really see me using this as mode of payment when all my cc have pay pass and pay wave plus my debit cards

Actually meant to say UGO is spinning during the card verification phase
Posted via CB10 on my Z30
Installed it an hour ago and still spinning to load availability of credit card issuers in Ontario. Moved on to UGo and doing the same thing.
Z30 with Rogers LTE secure sim and latest official Rogers OS release.

*sigh* Shame I live in Europe, in a non English speaking country, and will never use Rogers. *sigh again*
Get the Ugo app.
It's free to use and works flawlessly on my Z10.
Posted via CB10
Perhaps of greater importance to NFC payment uptake in Canada is the newly released Ugo app for BB10 (except Passport at present).
Right now Ugo only supports TD Visa and PC Mastercard, but it runs on Telus, Rogers, and Bell, and accepts PC loyalty/points cards. Once Ugo starts to sign up more card issuers it maybe successful. It is part of the EnStream deal which includes all the big Canadian banks.
Just wish I could get it working on my Z30!
Posted via CB10
Searched for it with a Z10 and couldn't find it.
Posted via my BlackBerry Passport
Pretty sure all the banks' mobile wallets run their transactions through Enstream, which is of course Powered by BlackBerry!

Z10?
Posted with my awesome Z10 :)
Long ago
Posted via CB10
I think lol..
Posted via CB10
Z10 was the first BlackBerry device to have this feature.
Posted via CB10
I have a Z10, on Bell, using the Royal Bank mobile wallet.
Posted via CB10
I've started tapping to pay every where I can! Timmy's, Canadian Tire, Petro Canada all are set up for NFC tap to pay at their Credit card terminals. Only if I have to get out the plastic do I do that any more.
Posted via CB10
Likewise. I love it.
Posted via CB10
Every payment group plays in their ass and fuss. And along comes Apple and puts them all to shame. They can'teven get to the point of supporting all devices. And I'm not an ios fan. Smh
Posted via CB10
BlackBerry World says that the app is still not available for my Z30. Maybe this has to do with me running 10.3.0.1418.???
Posted via CB10
It's not just you. I have an unlocked BlackBerry Z30 STA100-5 that's running 10.2.1 with a Koodo SIM card inside and BlackBerry World says that the app is not available for my device as well. On the other hand, I really hope TELUS works with it's sister company Koodo to roll out NFC SIM cards soon because it's frustrating to not be able to use my phone for more mobile payments. I'm happy though that for the Tim Hortons TimmyMe app, I don't need an NFC SIM to make mobile payments and that's good as long as I have enough money on my TimCard.
You have to be on Rogers, that's why...
Posted via CB10
Well, that's not true in regards to the UGO mobile payment app. According to the app listing on BlackBerry World, the app currently works for those who have a compatible BlackBerry smartphone (Z10, Q10, Q5, Z30 at the moment) and are with one of the big three carriers (Rogers, Bell and Telus) and has an NFC enabled SIM card from one of those carriers. In my case, I'm with Koodo and the app currently doesn't work for anyone else across Canada at the moment though support for other Canadian carriers is coming as stated on their website.
Suretap charges/fees are so high that it's much better to use a bank's NFC payment app (no extra charges to use). The prepaid Mastercard will soften the blows but it's just to lure people for the short-term. Suretap is really only useful for those who use a bank + carrier combination that doesn't have an NFC payment app.
Posted via CB10
I noticed this too which made me decide to wait until TD makes Z30 compatible. (which when I emailed them they said they were working on expanding the BlackBerry phones)
*Z30 STA100-5 10.2.1.2977/3247*
Wow! 100 bucks? Gotta check the Roger website First! Thanks.
Yeah, you can download $100 bux?
Good for all Canadian residents... hope they enjoy! :-)

I wonder when the Australian Banks and Telcos will make NDC provisions for BlackBerry users?
Posted via CB10
Yep.
The NFC craze hasn't really arrived down under yet, at least up here ...

I'm just glad to see that Rogers is going for BlackBerry again. Reminds me of the olden days.
No support for the Passport?
Posted via CB10
I think the Passport has a MicroSim so Rogers might have not NFC enabled ones yet.
Posted via CB10
I have a nano nfc enabled sim in my passport through Rogers. Alas all the mobile wallets that worked on my other bb10s don't work on the passport right now. I highly recommend the UGO wallet by the way.
Posted via CB10
Did you try CIBC mobile payment and/or ScotiaBank payment app on you BB Passport?
I tried with CIBC, but they insist it is not supported on the Passport :( also the app has now been removed from BlackBerry World (for the Passport)
Posted via CB10
Thanks, I was planning change my Z10 to passport but I am going to wait until mobile payment is going to be supported it in BB passport.
Cool! Does it include Fido??
Posted via CB10
I'd like to know this as well please
as would i
Don't forget about me too!

I can't Download it because a company Name BlackBerry has not released there 10.3 update yet!!! All these dam good apps running on the 10.3 update and I can't even use one! BlackBerry your killing me!
Posted via CB10
It's one thing not to have great app support, but fragmentation within ones own ecosystem is even worse. I feel your pain
Posted via CB10
I'm running 10.2.xxxx on my Z30 and it downloaded fine, so not sure what your issue is. Does not look like it requires 10.3
This may sound stupid, but do you have a Rogers phone? I have a Bell 10.3.1 phone and the app is listed as not available to me.
