|About the role
Payments Canada has launched a multi-year, multi-phase business transformational program: Modernization. This initiative focuses on aligning the needs of member institutions, users (consumer and business), and regulators with changes to Payments Canada’s core payments infrastructure and rules/policies to further enable the payments ecosystem in meeting the broader needs of users. The program is designed to improve the overall client experience and enhance the broader public policy objectives for the payments system (i.e. safety, soundness, efficiency and user interests).
Payments Canada continues to advance our program to deliver faster payments capabilities in Canada. The Real-Time Rail (RTR) is a payments platform that includes the technical infrastructure and business/legal framework to enable the exchange, clearing and settlement of real-time account-to-account credit transfers and other core services. It will enable participants to make immediate and irrevocable account-to-account payments on a 24/7/365 basis. The RTR supports ISO 20022 messaging, allowing for rich remittance data to flow through with the payments. It is designed as an open platform to be leveraged for consumer, business and government payment services and other payment-related offerings, creating opportunities for innovation and competition in Canada.
Reporting to the Manager, RTR Operations,, the Senior Payments Platform Onboarding Specialist is responsible and accountable for working closely with the Operational Readiness and Change Management teams to support the development and documentation of detailed RTR financial institution and 3rd party platform onboarding, and operational business processes and procedures for internal and external stakeholders, including RTR participants, Bank of Canada, RTR service providers and Payments Canada.
