We develop supervisory policies and guidelines to help payment service providers (PSPs) understand their obligations and how we will supervise them under the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) and the Retail Payment Activities Regulations (RPAR).
- Supervisory policies are documents that clarify what we will do to carry out our supervisory role, including registration and enforcement activities.
- Supervisory guidelines are documents that clarify the standards and practices we expect PSPs to incorporate into their business operations to meet risk management requirements. We may conduct consultations on our guidelines to gather input and feedback on these supervisory expectations.
For more terminology about retail payment supervision, refer to the glossary.
To help individuals or entities assess whether they could be subject to the Retail Payment Activities Act, use our self-assessment tool.
