Merchant Complaint Procedures for Non-Compliance

The Canadian Code of Conduct demonstrates the industry's commitment to ensuring that merchants are fully aware of the costs associated with accepting credit and debit card payments, and allowing merchants to freely choose which payment options they will accept. Please visit Financial Consumer Agency of Canada for Merchant rights under the Code of Conduct before filing a complaint.
