Code of Conduct for credit and debit card industry widely adopted

Posted on May 19, 2010

Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty announced yesterday the widespread adoption by major credit and debit card issuers, as well as payment processors, of the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada. The Code is intended to increase transparency and disclosure by payment card networks and acquirers to merchants, provide merchants with the flexibility to encourage consumers to choose the lowest-cost payment option and allow merchants to choose which payment options they will accept. Much of the Code comes into effect as of August 16, 2010.
