A digital economy fuelled by real-time payments? It’s a recipe for growth and prosperity — but only if Canadians feel confident and safe when transacting. A more connected world brings promise, but it also entails the need for vigilance, and technologically advanced systems of protection against bad actors. In this series, we’re talking about the role Interac plays in Canada’s economy and day-to-day life as a Protector, Operator and Enabler of the country’s digital prosperity.

In a more connected world, Canadian businesses need to compete harder and harder just to survive. Canada is facing transformational shifts in the ways we move money and transact. These changes could represent the start of a new era of digital prosperity — but only if we take bold steps. Interac is working hard to ensure Canada seizes the opportunity, in part by giving businesses the tools they need to make the leap into the digital future and lead in the global marketplace.
