Canada and EU plan to link next-generation payment systems
Original: Canada, EU plan to link next-gen payment systems
Canada and the European Union have announced plans in a joint statement to connect their next-generation payment systems, according to a Globe and Mail report. The move would align Canada's forthcoming real-time payment infrastructure with the EU's digital payments ecosystem, reducing reliance on card networks dominated by US firms and enabling faster, cheaper cross-border transactions between the two economies.
Why now: The announcement signals growing Western efforts to build payment infrastructure independent of US-controlled networks.
