Canadian CNP Market
The CNP market in Canada offers companies in the Payment chain a fantastic opportunity with intriguing challenges.
An evolving market with new technologies, products and services makes a local resource with the right contacts and with the right understanding of the Canadian market paramount.
Lets take a look at few of the current topics in the CNP space:
1. Code of Conduct
2. Visa Debit - Interac Debit Online
3. Mobile payments
Code of Conduct
In 2010, the Canadian government released a code of conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada.
(see Credit and Debit Industry –Code of Conduct)
The purpose of the code was to demonstrate the Industry’s commitment to transparency and choice.
These specific policy elements (rule 1., 3., 10) will provide the CNP market an opportunity for the following:
Code of Conduct
Transparency
(1.) Increased Transparency and Disclosure by Payment Card Networks and Acquirers to Merchants
Displaying effective merchant discount rate for each type of payment card from a payment card network
Displaying interchange rates and, if applicable, all other rates charged to the merchants by the acquirer
Outlining the number and volume of transactions for each type of payment transaction
Outlining the total amount of fees applicable to each rate
Outlining the details of each fee and to which payment card network they relate to
Code of Conduct
CHOICE:
(3.) Payment card network rules will ensure that merchants will receive a minimum of 90 days notice of any fee increases or the introduction of a new fee related to any credit or debit card transactions. Payment card networks will provide at least 90 days notice to acquirers for rate and / or fee changes and at least 180 days notice for structural changes
(10.) Payment card network rules will ensure that negative option acceptance is not allowed.(Must opt-into Visa Debit)
