  • If you made a payment today, thank a rule!

    Payments are becoming increasingly easier, smarter and safer for Canadian businesses and consumers. There are multiple enablers for this change - technology, innovation, consumer demand - but the real reason payments keep getting better and better are the rules and by-laws that form their foundation.
