What our members have to say
“PayTechs represent an alignment with everyday Canadians that has been missing for much too long. It’s essential Canadians have their voice heard and PayTechs is the best vehicle to do so.”
“Payments must be regulated to remain efficient. Outdated and unnecessary regulations hinder innovation and payments system performance, but change is difficult. The PayTechs of Canada association has the expertise and breadth of experience to promote safe, innovative, and lower-cost payment services.”
“PayTechs of Canada helps keep us informed and engaged on legislative and regulatory developments that might impact Wise and our customers.”
