Scope

• Payments Canada is developing a new real-time payment system known as Real-Time Rail (RTR), which is expected to go live in 2023. The system will support API integrations, enabling participants to offer value-added services. Payments Canada partnered with Interac in March 2021 to leverage the latter's exchange solution to facilitate transmission of RTR payment messages between participants. Mastercard's Vocalink is providing the clearing and settlement solution for the system. Meanwhile, the Large Value Transfer System (LVTS) - an electronic credit transfer system that operated on a real-time basis - was replaced by Lynx in September 2021. An updated version of Lynx is planned for launch in November 2022; it will leverage the ISO 20022 messaging standard to support SWIFT global standard requirements.

• BNPL services are growing in popularity. In August 2020, Australian BNPL provider Afterpay expanded to Canada. The provider enables its users to make interest-free payments in four installments for both in-store and online purchases. In January 2021, US-based BNPL provider Affirm expanded into the market by acquiring Canadian BNPL provider PayBright. In October 2021, Visa expanded its BNPL solution Visa Installments to Canada. This allows credit card holders to enable installments on approved credit lines; the solution can be used at any retailer that accepts Visa as a payment method. And in February 2022, Klarna launched its operations in Canada. The company's Pay in 4 service allows consumers to split both online and in-store purchases into four interest-free payments.

• Growth in the credit card market will be affected by the central bank increasing interest rates. On March 2, 2022, the central bank interest rate was revised from 0.25% to 0.50%. On June 1, 2022, the interest rate was increased to 1.50%. Such moves will directly impact the credit card market, leading to reduced spending via credit cards.
