More than ever, Canada is being looked to as a dynamic economy with world-class infrastructure, talent, and leading-edge research and development.
In an effort to strengthen Canada's global competitiveness, Payments Canada is leading a payments modernization initiative that aims to transform our country's payments infrastructure and act as a catalyst for innovation.
Come hear from Jan Pilbauer, Payments Canada's CIO and Executive Director of Modernization, as he shares the gateway of possibilities that modernized payments will enable and how this transformation will positively impact our country's reputation for financial services — particularly commercial and commerce activity between Canada and Asia and Vancouver's position as a gateway in those payments interactions.
More importantly, learn how you can start to take advantage of payments modernization to benefit your organization, customers and stakeholders and become a part of our country's journey. Together, we have the opportunity to strengthen B.C. and Canada's overall competitive position as a global leader.
