Canadian cooperative financial group Desjardins is to roll out NFC payments to members and clients in 2014, using a mobile payment application developed by Monitise.

EnStream, a joint venture formed by Canada's mobile network operators, will act as Desjardins' TSM.

"We are pleased to soon be able to offer our members and clients a mobile payment solution that is not only reliable and efficient, but also very accessible, because it will be supported by several mobile telephone providers," says Patrice Dagenais, VP of payment solutions and business partnerships at Desjardins Card Services.
