Connecting a fluid and vibrant economy
The Canadian economy depends on the exchange of billions of dollars each day. Payments Canada ensures that these financial transactions in Canada are carried out safely and securely. In 2021, Payments Canada systems cleared and settled $135 trillion or $539 billion every business day.
In payments today
Digital payments give retailers an edge with credit-leaning shoppers and Rome will soon allow passengers to make contactless fare payments.
