Payment Modernization Canada: Global Lessons in Faster Payment Evolution
Delving into the intricacies of global payment trends offers a comprehensive perspective, leading to more holistic and sustainable fintech solutions for all.
Having traversed India, the UK, and Australia, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of payment systems like UPI and Google Pay in India and the advances of the UK and Australia's real-time payment solutions.
Incorporating these global insights, Canada's Payment modernization - Real-Time Rail (RTR) holds unparalleled promise. It isn’t merely about swift transactions. It's about creating an inclusive financial ecosystem. Disregarding these global lessons would risk underutilizing RTR’s potential and alienating a chunk of the fintech innovation space.

Let’s ensure our fintech narrative is as inclusive as our approach to diversity in design.
