Canada and EU plan to link next-generation payment systems
Original: Canada, EU plan to link next-gen payment systems
Canada and the European Union have announced plans in a joint statement to connect their next-generation payment systems, part of broader efforts to build faster, cheaper cross-border payments outside dominant US networks like Visa, Mastercard and SWIFT. The move follows similar initiatives such as the EU's instant payments push and Canada's Real-Time Rail, and has drawn attention as Western allies deepen financial infrastructure cooperation.
Why now: Allied economies are seeking payment infrastructure independent of US-dominated systems amid rising geopolitical tension.
