Risk-based Supervision of Retail Payment Services Providers and Operators
Toronto Centre - November 28, 2025
Banks and a handful of international firms historically conducted the majority of payment functions. More recently, enabled by technology and regulation, new entrants specializing in one or a few processes have joined retail payment sectors.
In this note, Toronto Centre aims to guide financial sector supervisors whose responsibilities include the supervision of companies licensed or authorized to operate and provide retail payment services (RPS) to perform risk-based supervision (RBS).
