Bank of Canada PSP Registration Process in Canada
Your RPAA application is submitted through the Bank of Canada’s PSP Connect portal, along with the non-refundable application fee, currently CAD 2,500 and indexed annually. It must document the retail payment functions you perform, your governance arrangements, safeguarding arrangements, and operational risk controls. We compile every element to the Bank’s stated expectations.
