Regulate to innovate: A call for modern payment legislation in Canada | Lisa Sattler, Nick Cicchino, Cyrielle Chiron

In December 2022, a diverse coalition of organizations from across the payment industry came together to sign an open letter to the Minister of Finance to make a collective request of the federal government to amend the Canadian Payments Act to broaden Payments Canada’s membership. Broader access to our membership will support the introduction of new participants in Canada's payment system, and provide greater choice for Canadians and Canadian businesses in addressing their payment needs. In this episode of The PayPod, supporters of the letter, Cyrielle Chiron, Senior Vice President, Product Strategy and Innovation at Peoples Group, and Nick Cicchino, Vice President, Shared Services at Meridian, discuss the importance of payments, of broader access to Canada's payment systems and the need for payment legislation that keep pace with innovation in today’s digital world. GUESTSCyrielle Chiron, Senior Vice President, Product Strategy and Innovation, People’s GroupNick Cicchino, Vice President, Shared Services, Meridian Lisa Sattler, Senior Advisor of Public Policy, Payments Canada (guest host)About The PayPodThe PayPod is Payments Canada’s multi-episode podcast that explores the trends and topics influencing payments in Canada and around the world.In each episode, leading experts and respected thought leaders discuss the changing payment landscape, the needs of Canadians and the future of modern payments.Connect with Payments CanadaVisit our website: Explore payment research, news system updates and insights at payments.ca.Join the conversation: Follow Payments Canada and The SUMMIT, Canada’s annual premier payment event on LinkedIn. Subscribe: Never miss an episode by subscribing to The PayPod on your Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
