Podcasts about payments canada

Today is a very special day in the Do Good to Lead Well universe! The podcast officially turns 100. It is hard to imagine how far we have traveled together in a very short time. It is impossible to do justice to the amazing conversations we have shared together. To mark this very special occasion, I curated some of the most inspiring and thought-provoking insights shared by the CEOs, bestselling authors, and TED speakers I have spoken with over the past 2 years. I picked the clips that attendees most commented on during or after the live broadcast. My goal on putting this episode together was to provide a masterclass on self-leadership. After sharing these powerful clips, I'll provide my commentary, linking the threads together and connecting them with past guests. At the close of the episode, the tables are turned as Alan Mulally, the former CEO of Ford Motor Company and my collaborator on my latest book, asks me a question or two. I hope you enjoy this extended episode as much as I did putting it together.

Why is male allyship so important especially for female leaders? Join us as we speak with Dr. Anju Virmani who spent many years as Director of Engineering and is passionate about her role as a director for many boards which include Payments Canada, Ontario Power Generation and Ontario Health. She migrated to Canada at the young age of 20 and sadly her education was not recognized. But she knew she had to find a way to build a life and sustain herself in her new country and even after a lot of discouragement, she decided to switch from child education to computer programming, eventually leading her into engineering where her focus was about solving for complexities.  During our conversation, Dr. Virmani shared with us the opportunities and challenges faced when working in male-dominated sectors, and how she is making a difference for both men and women as they navigate the differences in how we lead. She also speaks about the work she has done to encourage and support students (especially women) in those final years of school by helping with scholarships and mentorship. Her influence spreads wide and far with those she leads and is a role model for. The power distribution belongs to men – so how do we get better at empowering more women? And how do you ignore the male influence? This becomes critical to change the narrative. Understanding the role male allies play and how both men and women leaders have a responsibility and power to make this change. She shared a great story when she was invited to join a celebration for Diwali and out of 40 participants, she was the only female in the room. The men were congratulatory and communicative, and yes there were no other women in the room. She was comfortable highlighting this and encouraging everyone to change that in the future. She also talks about the importance of ensuring our boys are raised with equality in mind. We can't make changes unless we are all working toward building a pipeline for a more equitable future. Another wonderful example she shares is when a male ally invited her to a round table discussion with Prime Minister Stephen Harper…to learn what happened and her first experience being on a board, have a listen.Are you ready to better understand how you show up as a leader?

During the Glenbrook Payment Book Camp we make clear that national payments systems are domestic by definition. Each country has its own set of systems to effect payments. We point out that national payment systems differ in many of their details. Regulation, operating rules, governance, ownership, technology, and more are highly variable. At the same time, we also point out that major components are generally similar. An overnight, batch-based system for low-cost, low-value retail payments and an instant, irrevocable wire system for high-value transfers are typical of most countries. Across the planet, countries are planning, designing, trialing or enjoying fully deployed immediate funds transfer systems, new ones that instantly transfer lower value payments. The UK's Faster Payments system and The Clearing House's Real Time Payments (RTP) are two examples of this system type. Beside increased speed of payment, a second push for changes to national payment systems is the need for a richer representation of the data surrounding the payment transfer itself. Remittance data, for example, communicates what the payment is for, which invoices a payment may be covering, and what trade terms were taken by the payor. ISO 20022 is the internationally recognized method for representing this information and support for it has become a new priority not just for system operators but for financial institutions and enterprise customers. Generally, major upgrades, never mind deployment of an entirely new system, are performed in a step-wise manner because of the critical nature of these systems, the cost, and the difficulty of herding system stakeholders through the many stages needed to achieve broad support and usage. Undeterred by those realities, Canada is taking on a comprehensive upgrade to multiple systems over the next few years, including its overnight settlement and wire systems while simultaneously planning for its own immediate funds transfer system, codenamed Real Time Rails. Significantly, each system upgrade will include support for ISO 20022. Payments Canada is the non-profit organization mandated by the federal government to manage, operate, and upgrade these systems. In this Payments on Fire episode Glenbrook's George Peabody speaks with Justin Ferrabee, Payment Canada's COO about his organization's work, how its systems differ from those in the U.S., and what's ahead. It's a great conversation between payments geeks.    

This episode is about the Future of Payments in Canada and around the world. How do you pay for things today, in your personal and business lives? Cash, cheque, credit, debit, wire transfers, email money transfers? Maybe you're living in the future and pay for everything with your phone. Have you ever wondered if cash and cheques, aka paper transactions will always be around?  Did you know that 875 million cheques were written in Canada last year? That might surprise you if you don't even have a chequebook.   But many businesses still rely on cheques to make all of their payments.  It provides a paper trail, or audit trail, if you always have the Canada Revenue Agency on your mind. Will it always be this way?  What does the future of payments hold? To understand the future, it might help to understand more about how payments are processed today. In May 2018, I was at the Payments Canada Summit and interviewed 4 people about the future of payments:   Sue Whitney of Payments Canada - 2:18 Sam Mulligan of Mobeewave - 11:32 Chris Chan of Dwello - 15:44 Laurence Cooke of Nanopay - 30:06 NEXT EPISODE 38 - Mark Podolsky

Welcome to The PayPod podcast, a multi-episode series of everything to do with Canada’s ambitious payments modernization mission. In this inaugural episode, Justin Ferrabee and Jan Pilbauer of Payments Canada are joined by Lauren Fleming, a financial services advisor from Ernst & Young who recently completed a study for Payments Canada that, among other insights, quantified that the manual matching of payments to invoices cost businesses billions of dollars a year. Lauren explains how, according to the study, a good portion of between $3 and $6 billion dollars annually, currently invested in reconciling account receivables and payables, could be eliminated, ushering in a new wave of service and product innovation among fintech and paytech companies.
