TD VISA CREDIT CARD CUSTOMERS WILL BE THE FIRST IN CANADA TO USE VIRTUAL CARD NUMBERS THROUGH GOOGLE AS A PAYMENT OPTION ON GOOGLE CHROME
Toronto-Dominion Bank has made virtual card numbers through Google as a payment option for on-line shopping on Google Chrome and in-app shopping. This makes TD the first Canadian financial institution where TD Visa credit cardholders will have the option to make online purchases without sharing their payment card details with merchants with the use of virtual card numbers through Google Chrome.
Virtual card numbers through Google will be easily accessible for eligible TD Visa credit cardholders who shop on-line using Google Chrome on their computer or mobile phone, and natively in-app on Android and iOS devices. Virtual card numbers through Google can simplify the on-line checkout experience, while reinforcing the security, trust and safety that consumers depend on.
Virtual card numbers through Google are a safer way to pay on-line or in-app, with just one click. When you make a purchase, the browser/app replaces your physical card number with a unique virtual card number. When you check out, the virtual number hides your personal payment card details from the merchant and helps to protect you against fraud.
"TD customers have shown tremendous affinity for Google over the years with many saving their card information in their Google account," said Meg McKee, executive vice-president, Canadian card payments, loyalty and personal lending at TD. "Our goal is to increase security in the payment ecosystem by removing the need for customers to share credit card information on-line. This capability is another one of the many ways TD cardholders in Canada can have payment solutions to meet their evolving needs."
For customers using their TD Visa credit cards to create a virtual card number through Google, this means having the same easy checkout experience that they are used to, but with the increased security of the latest payment technology capabilities.
"This collaboration with TD marks an important step forward in driving innovation in the Canadian payments landscape," said Kirsten Rasanen, managing director, global partnerships, Google Payments. "Bringing the security and convenience of virtual cards to Chrome and Android users is a testament to our shared commitment to providing Canadians with cutting-edge payment solutions."
