TORONTO, June 18 /CNW/ - MasterCard Canada looks forward to participating in the consultative process undertaken by the Task Force for the Payments System Review, announced today by the Minister of Finance.
"MasterCard looks forward to the opportunity to discuss the important role card payments play in helping maintain a well-functioning financial system in Canada," said Jennifer Reed, Vice President, Government Relations and Communications.
The Canadian credit card payment system is an important source of credit for Canadian consumers, and provides secure, innovative and reliable, guaranteed payment processing for merchants.
