Following on an informative session last year, Sue Whitney, Payments Canada and Bill Piggot, ADP, will outline the key benefits and opportunities of modernizing. This will include an understanding about how access to richer data through the adoption of ISO 20022 will help streamline business processes and strengthen Canada’s competitive position as a global leader in financial services. Also, how the implementation of a new Real-Time Rail, additional EFT windows with two-hour funds availability, and deployment of the new Real-time Gross Settlement system via Lynx will support faster and more efficient payment interactions.
