报道要点

Payments Canada于11月9日启动Real-Time Rail全国支付基础设施,支持全天候即时交换、清算及结算,并传递更丰富的交易资料。官方确认系统已上线,但消费者能否使用具体功能,仍取决于其金融机构及产品是否已接入。

背景与影响

首批参与者包括Wealthsimple、Questbank、Peoples Trust、Paramount Commerce、Koho、DoBusiness.com、Digital Commerce Bank及Bank of America;更多机构,包括加拿大主要金融机构,预计未来数月加入。系统最初曾以2019年为目标,实际推出已延后多年。

需要区分

即时到账有望减少资金等待与处理成本,帮助企业现金流;同时付款更快也缩短核查及追回可疑交易的时间。RTR设置集中反欺诈服务,包括收款人确认、交易安全评分、风险名单及举报平台,但这些措施不代表诈骗风险归零,也不是所有银行转账已经自动变为即时。
