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:
 | The recession in Canada will
result in lower growth for debit and credit card payments as
consumers cut back on their expenditures |
 | 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 |
 | Card issuers will use the
EMV implementation card reissue cycle to issue cards with
contactless payment functionality |
 | 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 |
 | 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. It identifies high growth segments in the
Canadian payments market in the context of important trends as well
as recent developments in the economy and the industry. 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. Detailed
forecasts are presented for debit and credit cards in circulation,
credit card payments, debit card payments, cash payments, cheque
payments, contactless payments, cross-border payments, online
