Status on call for nominations
Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination for the 2026 Member Advisory Council (MAC). Our call for nominations is now closed.
The 20-person council is part of our robust governance structure that helps to shape the payment landscape in Canada. MAC provides valuable input and advice to Payments Canada’s Board of Directors on ongoing operations, initiatives dealing with Canada’s clearing and settlement systems, including the by-laws, policies and rules that support them, the interaction of those systems with other systems and the development of new technologies.
Who is eligible to be part of the Member Advisory Council?
Our Member Advisory Council consists of individuals who represent the interests of member financial institutions that directly or indirectly participate in at least one of Canada’s payment systems, or who are due-paying members of Payments Canada.
Payments Canada has over 110 members, including direct clearers, group clearers, payment service providers, credit unions and indirect clearers. When nominating a representative, Payments Canada encourages member organizations to review the eligibility guidelines.
