Apple, Meta, Samsung Absent from Canada Payment Registry

December 2, 2024 by Newsdesk

Apple, Samsung, and Meta are notably absent from the Bank of Canada’s list of payment providers registered under its new oversight regime. The regulation, aimed at reducing risks like hacks and company failures, required non-bank payment services to register by mid-November. While Amazon, Google, and Shopify complied, the central bank is pursuing firms that may have missed the deadline.

Bank of Canada’s Paul Badertscher said companies assessing their registration requirements aren’t included on the list. Apple, Samsung, and Meta, all of which provide payment services in Canada, declined to comment on their absence from the registry.

September 4, 2023 by Newsdesk

Despite efforts to address concerns about limitless liability, Facebook stands firm on its decision to block news content in Canada.

The law, set to launch in December, arose from the media industry’s grievances, seeking stricter regulation of tech giants in the online advertising sphere.

Google is reviewing the proposed regulations, while Meta’s blockade has hardly affected Canadian Facebook usage. Firms must negotiate deals and allocate a portion of global revenues, potentially generating millions yearly.
