EnStream, a Canadian-based provider of NFC mobile payments, announced this past week customers of provincial telecommunications companies MTS and SaskTel now have the ability to make mobile payments if they are TD Bank customers, according to a press release. 

EnStream said its platform acts as a hub, connecting multiple Canadian banks and mobile network operators. The platform securely delivers the credit, debit and prepaid cards offered by financial institutions to wireless handsets while preserving each bank's direct relationship with their customers through their own banking and payment applications, according to the announcement. 

"Once SaskTel and MTS were connected to our platform, it was relatively easy for an EnStream connected bank, like TD, to extend service to the customers of SaskTel and MTS," Almis Ledas, COO of EnStream, said in a statement. 

Other banks will soon offer the service, according to the announcement. 

Mobile payments are now supported by Bell, Rogers, TELUS, MTS and SaskTel, who collectively provide service to over 94 percent of Canada's wireless subscribers. Similarly, five of Canada's six largest financial institutions: CIBC, Desjardins, RBC, Scotiabank and TD — who together serve 85 percent of Canada's households with retail banking services — are providing mobile payments through their own applications, according to the announcement.
