About Supervision Department
The payments landscape in Canada and globally is changing rapidly.

The rapid pace of technological change in Canada and around the world is introducing new and better ways for consumers and businesses to make payments.

The federal government is implementing a new Retail Payments Supervisory (RPS) Framework under the Retail Payment Activities Act.

Under this Framework, the Bank of Canada would register payment service providers that perform retail payment activities and supervise PSPs' compliance with operational risk management and fund safeguarding requirements and maintain a public registry of PSPs.

The Bank will monitor and assess whether an individual or entity is a PSP and make a registration decision as to whether it is within the scope of the Bank.

The Bank will assess whether PSPs are adequately managing their risks and help identify areas where their risk-management practices should be improved.

To fulfill its mandate, the Bank will have a suite of registration, compliance and enforcement tools, will be authorized to promote compliance with the PSPs' registration, operational risk, end-user funds safeguarding, and mandatory reporting requirements and take enforcement actions, including imposing administrative monetary penalties and entering into compliance agreements.
