Ubiquity has additional value, too, in that a single payment network minimizes the friction involved in using or transferring money. In a multi-network payments system, inter-network interfaces, differing protocols, and opacity or incompleteness of transaction and customer information all conspire to increase friction, limit trust, and slow money movement; conversely, the more comprehensive, unified, and information-rich the system, the more that friction is reduced.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Interac\u00a0<\/em>e-Transfer payment system is as comprehensive as they come, seamlessly connecting over 250 financial institutions, an estimated 120,000 businesses, and 5 million monthly active users. Since the more a payments network connects, the more it will get used\u00a0\u2013 every time a user or business joins it means that\u00a0<em>everyone<\/em>\u00a0already on the network can now transact with them, and in more situations \u2013 it\u2019s no surprise that almost $175 million is transferred between parties on our network every day. What\u2019s more, since the marginal costs of a network tend to decline as it grows and as more transactions are made on it, Canadian individuals and organizations can expect to join and move funds and make and accept payments more easily and inexpensively every year. Finally, a network that connects almost everyone can offer valuable shared services to its participants at low cost. Consider our directory services, for example: a central database of proxy identifiers that maps each user to the email address they use to accept money transfers from others \u2013 not only creating a streamlined and secure experience for users, but also eliminating the need for financial institutions to maintain their own databases of customers and their counterparties at other institutions.<\/p>\n<p>To us, the equation is simple: more connections makes for a simple and unified network, which means faster money movement at the least possible cost\u00a0\u2013 for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row dvmig height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[vc_imagelink src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/developer1.interac.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/principle2-768&#215;702.jpg\u00a0\u00bb show_in_lightbox=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb use_overlay=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb always_center_on_mobile=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb force_fullwidth=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb show_bottom_space=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.0.93&Prime;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row dvmig height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Principle #3: Data abstraction improves individual privacy and security<\/h2>\n<p>In an era in which identity theft and privacy are (rightfully) major concerns not only for citizens but also for organizations who collect and store private information about their customers and users, we believe that the more \u201cdata abstraction\u201d in the payments system, the better. By abstraction, of course, we mean the use of unique but reasonably public identifiers (like a payee\u2019s email address or mobile phone number) to replace unique but much more private identifiers (like a payee\u2019s bank transit and account number) in order to complete a digital payment or money transfer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Interac\u00a0<\/em>e-Transfer does exactly that today. By maintaining a highly secure directory of proxy identifiers,\u00a0<em>Interac<\/em>\u00a0e-Transfer requires no bank account information, and no personal financial information of any kind, to move money between people or businesses \u2013 only the recipient\u2019s email address or mobile phone number, and a security question (to which only the recipient will know the answer). In fact, with the implementation of an upcoming service enhancement, a recipient who enables \u201cauto-deposit\u201d for a given payor (such as an employer) will not even require a security question, while another enhancement (\u201cMoney Request\u201d) will make it easy to collect payments without requiring banking information.<\/p>\n<p>This means that individuals\u2019 private financial information will no longer be unnecessarily propagated from payees to payors across the country. Employers won\u2019t need employee banking details to make payroll deposits, nor will landlords have to require post-dated cheques (with account numbers stamped on them) from their tenants. It\u2019s also another way of encouraging transactions in the economy, as the friction from filling out tedious account detail forms goes away, and as the need for trust (\u201cwill my counterparty actually keep my private information private?\u201d) declines significantly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row dvmig height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[vc_imagelink src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/developer1.interac.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/principle3-768&#215;493.jpg\u00a0\u00bb show_in_lightbox=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb use_overlay=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb always_center_on_mobile=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb force_fullwidth=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb show_bottom_space=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.0.93&Prime;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row dvmig height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Principle #4: Embrace standards<\/h2>\n<p>ISO 20022 is a global standard for payments messaging (as well as a variety of other business message types), and its adoption will allow Canadian businesses to pay other businesses, collect money from customers, and ultimately sell to and buy from U.S. and international customers and vendors with greater ease and \u2013 because of the richer remittance data it provides \u2013 with higher levels of trust than ever before. And because it is an agreed standard, it will facilitate the integration of payments networks with accounting systems, enabling organizations to reap the efficiency and cash-management benefits of straight-through processing. Finally, by standardizing messaging protocols, ISO 20022 will increase incentives for innovation in software and services, as well as improving the industry\u2019s ability to respond to future regulatory or market changes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its clear economic benefits, adoption of ISO 20022 in Canada has been slowed by the difficulty of upgrading legacy systems to use the new protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0\u201cpayment rails\u201d, however, were developed to use XML-based messaging \u2013 the same formatting standard used by ISO 20022. Not only that: later this year we\u2019ll be making\u00a0<em>Interac<\/em>\u00a0e-Transfer messaging fully interoperable with ISO 20022 and launching an ISO-compliant third-party gateway interface,\u00a0and more broadly we will be ensuring that ISO 20022 compliance is a feature of all services where it would add significant value, including bulk transfers, cross-border payments, and settlement instructions.<\/p>\n<p>As a result,\u00a0<em>Interac<\/em>\u00a0partners have a much easier path to upgrade to ISO 20022 \u2013 and will be able to capture the benefits of using it that much sooner. In addition, because our\u00a0real-time rails is message agnostic, the industry does not have to migrate to ISO 20022 in a coordinated fashion: customers of financial institutions that have not yet upgraded to ISO 20022 can transact easily with customers of financial institutions who have made the upgrade, so all participants can select the timing that works best for them and for their clients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row dvmig height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[vc_imagelink src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/developer1.interac.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/principle4-768&#215;493.jpg\u00a0\u00bb show_in_lightbox=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb use_overlay=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb always_center_on_mobile=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb force_fullwidth=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb show_bottom_space=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.0.93&Prime;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row dvmig height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Principle #5: Closed divides, but open unifies<\/h2>\n<p>It is no secret that the technology sector has been the site of an ongoing battle between those who believe that consumers are better served by \u201cclosed\u201d products, in which a single vendor ensures quality by controlling the design and features, and those who believe that \u201copenness\u201d offers a more robust and innovation-encouraging way to proceed.
