Canadian platforms are under pressure to deliver fast, secure, and automated payment workflows that meet rising user expectations. Whether it’s paying out contractors, collecting recurring rent, or reconciling transactions across hundreds of vendors, your business needs infrastructure that works in real time, without manual intervention.
Interac e‑Transfer® for Business provides that infrastructure. But embedding it successfully into your product or operations requires more than a basic payment rail. It requires the right partner, the right tools, and the right approach to integration.
This article explores what it takes to successfully integrate Interac e‑Transfer® in your platform, and why VoPay is trusted by Canadian fintechs, SaaS platforms, and enterprise operators to bring it all together.
