Go local, pay smarter

Choosing to keep money circulating within Canada might seem symbolic, but in reality, it’s far from trivial. More and more local businesses are realizing the impact of their choices when it comes to suppliers—whether it’s products, services… or even payment solutions. Yep, even your payment terminal or platform can make a real difference for our local economy.

Supporting the local economy is a smart move

When a business chooses a local payment solution, it’s not just making a technical decision—it’s sending a clear message. That choice helps maintain jobs here, supports Canada expertise, and keeps more of the wealth within the province.

Every time a merchant uses a payment solution that’s developed and operated locally, they’re indirectly supporting Canada SMEs, startups, and tech talent. Unlike some multinational companies, local businesses tend to reinvest more in the community. It’s a virtuous cycle: the more we buy local, the more wealth we create here, and the more we can keep buying local.

Unique needs call for local answers

Canada doesn’t share the exact same reality as the U.S. Our businesses operate in a bilingual environment, with consumption habits that are distinctly our own. That’s why it makes sense for Canada merchants to work with partners who truly understand these nuances.

Local payment solutions are often better suited to the challenges merchants face here. Whether it’s offering impeccable French-language service, fast and personalized support, or in-depth knowledge of local regulations, there’s real added value in doing business with someone who lives the same reality.

Proximity as a performance driver

Having a payment solution provider close by also means access to more human service. Global giants often rely on impersonal call centers where your issue becomes just another ticket. Local partners are people who get what you’re going through, who can even show up in person when needed, and who tend to be more flexible when tailoring their services to your business.

And let’s be honest—when was the last time a big payment corporation took the time to fully understand your business? Local providers aim to build long-term relationships, not just sell you a device or an app. They want to see their clients succeed, grow, and stick around.

Choosing stability and transparency

Going with a local payment solution also means betting on stability. Local companies tend to be more transparent about pricing, commitments, and how they handle customer data. You know where your money is going, who you’re dealing with, and who you can rely on.

With ever-evolving regulations on payment security, data protection, and Canada-specific compliance requirements, having a local partner can be a real asset—saving you time, money, and potential headaches.
