Canadian Payments Forecast - 2009 

Published: January - 2009

Canadian Payments Forecast - 2009, is the most comprehensive and authoritative independent strategic review, analysis and market forecast available on the Canada’s payment industry. New research from Technology Strategies International shows that consumer payments in Canada is geared for growth even though the economy is in the early phases of a recession. New payment segments, in particular, cross-border debit, contactless, mobile and alternative online payments are set for extraordinary growth over the next five years. Some key findings of the research include:  

bullet

The recession in Canada will result in lower growth for debit and credit card payments as consumers cut back on their expenditures

bullet

Contactless payments will be the highest growth segment over the next five years, exhibiting phenomenal growth and encroaching on the areas currently dominated by cash and debit cards

bullet

Card issuers will use the EMV implementation card reissue cycle to issue cards with contactless payment functionality

bullet

Alternative payment mechanisms for online payments (i.e. non-credit card payments) will account for one third of all online payments made by Canadians by 2013

bullet

Cross border payments will grow by 70% per year over the next five years

Canadian Payments Forecast, 2009, is a comprehensive review, analysis and forecast of consumer payments in Canada.

The impact of the recession is examined and the following key developments are analyzed with respect to their impact on the market: fraud, duality in the credit card market; the emerging battleground around merchant discount rates; and Interac’s application to the Competition Bureau to convert to a ‘for-profit’ organization.
