The Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) establishes an oversight framework for retail payment activities in Canada, a significant milestone in the Canadian payments landscape. Payments are a critical aspect for most Canadian businesses and the implementation of the RPAA will bring change and opportunity to payment providers and payment users alike.  

We invite you to join us for an interactive discussion about the RPAA with Ron Morrow, Executive Director of Retail Payments Supervision for the Bank of Canada. Our discussion is intended to answer or shed light on many of the questions and issues on the minds of industry stakeholders, such as:

  • Who is covered by the RPAA?
  • What are the requirements of the RPAA?
  • What is the role of the Bank of Canada?
  • What are the timelines?
  • Who will have access to the Real Time Rails?

The discussion will be moderated by Osler Financial Services Regulatory Partners Victoria Graham and Elizabeth Sale.

Have other questions about the Act that you would like to see addressed during the session? Email us at [email protected].
