Scope

  • The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a significant shift in preference for consumers towards the use of contactless payment methods. According to the results of a survey conducted by Payments Canada in November 2020, approximately 47% of Canadians surveyed report using their contactless debit and credit cards more often than pre-COVID, and 50% of Canadians tried not to exceed the contactless limit when buying something in-store. To capitalize on the growing adoption of contactless payments, in February 2021, Ottawa-based public transit agency OC Transpo introduced the acceptance of contactless Mastercard and Visa credit cards as well as mobile payment apps and smartwatches that use Apple Pay or Google Pay loaded with Visa or Mastercard to make payments for train fares.
  • Buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services are widely used in the country's payments market, with several payment providers now offering this service. In January 2021, US-based BNPL service provider Affirm expanded into the Canadian payment market by acquiring PayBright, a Canadian BNPL provider. Affirm offers BNPL services on online transactions and charges zero late fees, prepayment fees, or annual fees but the payments may include a small interest component depending on the transaction value of the purchase. Customers can choose a repayment duration that ranges from three to 12 months. Earlier in August 2020, Afterpay, an Australian BNPL service provider, expanded its services to Canada. The provider enables its users to make interest-free credit payments in four instalments for both in-store and online transactions.
  • To cater to the rapidly changing preferences of consumers as a result of the increasing adoption of technological advancements, in 2016, Payments Canada launched the Modernization Program, a multi-year initiative to develop a payments system that is fast, flexible, secure, and strengthens Canada's competitive position. As part of this initiative, Payments Canada is currently developing multiple payment systems, the first being Lynx, which is a high-value payments system replacing the existing large-value transfer system. The improved system will enable banks and credit unions to make large value transfers in a faster and more secure manner and is scheduled to launch in September 2021. The second innovation includes the development of a real-time payment system for retail customers known as Real-Time Rail, which is expected to go live in 2022.
