Interac has announced the launch of Interac Debit on Android Pay.

As part of Google's rolling deployment, consumers with debit cards issued by BMO Financial Group, CIBC, Desjardins and Scotiabank will be able to pay using Android Pay as of today, according to a press release.

Interac Debit on Android Pay enables consumers to use their eligible Android device to make mobile contactless transactions at hundreds of thousands of merchant locations across Canada where Interac Flash contactless payments are already accepted.

"We're excited to team up with Google as well as our participating financial institution partners to bring Interac Debit on Android Pay to Canadians," Mark O'Connell, president and CEO of the Interac Association and Acxsys Corp., said in a statement. "As the payment landscape evolves, we strive to offer Canadians innovative and seamless payment experiences that are fast, secure and increasingly more digital. The launch of Android Pay in Canada will give Interac debit cardholders yet another way to pay using their own money."
