Fitbit Pay - Bank of Novia Scotia (Scotiabank)

Please add Scotiabank (The Bank of Nova Scotia) to the Fitbit Pay app! It is already available via Android Pay, no reason Fitbit cannot do the same!

If you want Scotiabank support(i've waited 2 friggn' years!!!),  just comment on my tweet to let them know that you want the feature!   They actually said they'd do it!  We just need to show them how many people want this, which will bump up the priority.

I hope they (Fitbit and Scotiabank) can get this sorted out. I bought my versa because of the Fitbit pay and I'm disappointed it's still not set up to use my bank or even many banks in Canada

they have been saying they know its wanted for 2 years, ive talked to support many times and told them theres been people wanting it for 2 years now and over 10k votes and nothing,   i returned my fitbit for a refund because of this and because it was a **ahem** and id have to set it up every other day because it wouldn't sync, then i got a new phone and found out the app isnt compatible with it...fitbit needs to get it together and listen to the customers

I'm seriously disappointed, I bought a Versa 2 SE, and since I just received it yesterday I'm already realizing how "not ready" they are... Pay is not working well for Canadian (not enough bank), media control is not working well with YT Music (Pause btn act like replay...), It synced well till 3am then nothing, I had to reboot watch/phone/bluetooth settings etc this morning...

 

I don't know what to think... I should have bought a Fossil watch I think...

 

I was so exited since it's now Google owned... but they don't even plan on switching to WearOS... 😭

Any updates? I just bought a Versa 2 and was very disappointed to find out Scotiabank wasn't included in your Fitbit pay.

Hi! 

I was negatively surprised that Top Canadian Banks  are not supported by Fit-bit pay (I am with Scotia Bank by the way). I am using Charge 3 Special edition, but it seems like fit-bit pay is useless feature in Canada if you are not with RBC:)        I am thinking if I still need the charge 3 spec or will change it to regular version or even return it.

 

Please, Please add Scotia bank to Fit-bit Pay!!! 🙂

 It only supports RBC and 1 another bank and that is it... No Scotia Bank, No TD bank, No BMO, No CIBC, No National Bank of Canada... 

I really can not understand that because huge layer of Fit-bit customers and fans are located in Canada. For many of them payment option (that works) is %30 of purchase decision, otherwise your potential customers go with other smartwatches and fitness trackers. 

 

please comment why payment option is important for you? Lets get attention!

Please consider Scotiabank as an option for fit pay.

I recently have bought a fitbit versa 2 in hopes of contactless payment but the only issue is it dosent support canada's #1 bank (Scotiabank) 

Its very inconvenient cuz Scotiabank is very open to new technology please take this under consideration.

Please add Scotia bank I purchased this watch apparently not doing enough research.. Canada’s sure being left out of the loop here .. love Fitbit but maybe have to look into a different brand as this was one of the features I was excited to use

Can you please add more Canadian banks to be used with Fitbit. Some of the options I have NEVER ever heard of in Canada. Tangerine, CIBC, Scotia Bank are just a few of the most common banks in Canada and they are not on the list. I have the option to pay with my watch (on a pretty expensive device as well)... I should be able to utilize that and USE IT!!! 

- Thanks

Just ended up getting a credit card with RBC. Only the credit card. A no annual fee cash back MasterCard. I still bank with Scotiabank and pay the credit card through online or mobile banking with Scotiabank. It is terrible solution I know, but it worked for me. Fitbit

customer service is terrible and they will never add more to Fitbit pay. Now that Google has purchased Fitbit, they will integrate Google pay into their future devices. I can only hope they will also support the older devices which have NFC and it should not even be a hard add on, but I think that is unlikely. Good luck to all of you still waiting for a Fitbit pay solution that will never come.

Very disappointed that only RBC is currently available.  Please add either ScotiaBank (preferable) or BMO so that I am not wasting my Versa 2 SE investment!  Thanks

Please please please add Scotiabank to Fitbit Pay.

The only reason why i bought a fitbit versa 2 is to buy coffee on my run with out a bulky phone or wallet in my pocket the watch is basically useless for runs without support for banks like  Scotiabank  and other banks but the funny part is like OVER 100 banks are supported in usa but like 5 in Canada like y'all picking favorites 😡 and like whats the point of putting in the ads that you can pay with fitbit pay when it dont even support most banks😡 this is very frustrating.

Adding Scotiabank to fitbitpay has been "under consideration" SINCE 2018. Most of us bought Fitbit for the features and we cant cven use them🙄😡
