What our members have to say
We’re pleased to join Paytechs of Canada to support their important efforts to champion innovation and foster competition in the Canadian payments space.
The deep involvement and expertise at Paytechs of Canada is a positive force for payments modernization in Canada and we are excited to participate with them in bringing innovation and global best practices to the benefit of Canada’s payments ecosystem.
Zum Rails has joined the Paytechs of Canada because we believe payments in Canada are at a crossroads, and we want a seat at the table to ensure the future of domestic payments stays focused and on track. We believe that there is limitless potential for Canadian Paytechs with even the slightest improvement on the existing payments rails, but it has remained relatively unchanged for decades.
