    ​​The Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada (the Code), which all payment card networks operating in Canada have adopted, sets out several rights that merchants have in relation to their contracts and their statements for payment card processing services. FCAC’s Commissioner has issued further guidance on some of the issu...

    All disclosures that merchants receive under the Code must be presented in a clear, simple, and not misleading way.

    Statements that merchants receive from their payment service providers must include the following information:

    •the effective merchant discount rate that applies to each type of payment card from a payment card network

    •interchange​ rates and all other rates that payment service providers, such as acquirers, charge the merchant

    •the number and volume of transactions for each type of payment transaction

    •the total amount of fees applicable to each rate

    Payment card networks must make all standard interchange rates and acquiring network assessment fees applicable to their products and any upcoming changes to these rates and fees easily available on their websites.

    Merchants must receive a minimum of 90 days’ notice of any new fees or fee increases related to credit or debit card transactions, or of a reduction in applicable interchange rates. 

    The 90-day period will begin when the merchant has been provided with sufficient information about the change in fees to allow the merchant to reasonably assess the cost implications of the change.

    If a fee change is made in accordance with a predetermined fee schedule included in the merchant’s contract with an acquirer, the 90-day notification is not required.  

    Learn more about the Commissioner’s guidance on the 90-day notice period.

    Multiple service provider agreements include contracts with different companies for various services, such as debit card processing, credit card processing and payment terminal leasing. Payment service providers must provide merchants with a consolidated summary of key information about each contract before entering into a multiple service provider agreement.  

    Specific information to be provided in this summary includes:

    •the name and contact information for each payment service provider, and the nature of the services it provides

    •the effective date of each agreement

    •information on the expiry and renewal of each agreement (for example, if the agreement will be renewed automatically unless the merchant cancels by a certain date). Check carefully to see if the agreement builds in any fee increases at renewal

    •detailed information on applicable fees and rates for each payment service provider

    Merchants are allowed to cancel their contracts without penalty following the introduction of a new fee, a fee increase or when a reduction in applicable interchange fees is not passed on to the merchant. 

    Merchants have 90 days from the date they receive the notice of the new fee or fee increase to cancel their contract without penalty. This notice should provide merchants with enough information for them to reasonably assess the impact of the new fee or fee increase on their business. FCAC’s Commissioner has issued guidance that if a merchant can assess this impact only at a later date after receiving the notice, then the 90-day period to cancel without penalty should start at that point and not when they received the notice.

    This right to cancel does not apply if a fee increase is made in accordance with a predetermined schedule included in the merchant’s contract, such as a schedule based on the merchant’s sales volumes. 

    Merchants will also have the right to give service providers 90 days’ notice of contract cancellation and to cancel their contracts without penalty, if payment service providers do not pass on the full savings from any reduction in applicable interchange rates.

    As part of this right, merchants cannot be charged penalties for any related service contracts with payment service providers, such as terminal leases or third-party payment processing.

    FCAC’s Commissioner has issued guidance on scenarios where a payment service provider has arranged for a package of related payment processing services that resulted in the merchant having contracts with more than one organization. 

    Merchants who accept credit card payments from a payment network are not required to accept debit card payments from the same network, and vice versa. 

    The same applies to credit or debit payment credentials accessed through a mobile wallet or mobile device.

    Merchants are allowed to provide discounts for different methods of payment (for example, cash, debit card and credit card), as well as different levels of discounts among different payment card networks.

    If merchants choose to offer these types of discounts, they must clearly display the discounts at the point-of-sale.

    If payment card networks introduce new products or services, merchants are not required to accept those new products or services. Negative option acceptance is not allowed.

    A merchant must explicitly consent to accept new products or services.

    This element of the Code of Conduct applies to new products and services that payment card networks offer to merchants.

    It does not apply to new products and services offered to consumers, such as a new credit card product.

    Merchants are not required to accept contactless payments or upgrade payment terminals to accept contactless payments.

    Merchants can cancel their acceptance of contactless payment for all payment card networks with 30 days’ notice, while keeping the rest of their contract the same. By canceling acceptance of contactless payment, merchants will be able to accept only credit and debit card payments that use chip and PIN.

    If fees to accept payments made with mobile wallets or mobile devices increase in comparison to those for contactless payments made with a physical credit or debit card, merchants are allowed to cancel payment acceptance for mobile wallets and mobile devices. This means that merchants will not be able to accept mobile payments, but will still be able to accept payments made with physical credit and debit cards using either contactless payments or chip and PIN.

    Merchants can opt out of accepting contactless payments made using a mobile wallet or mobile device with 30-days’ notice without penalty.
