Decoding the Code: What the Code of Conduct means for your business

The Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada

TD Merchant Solutions adheres to the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry (the Code of Conduct) that was introduced by the Minister of Finance on May 17, 2010.

On April 13 2015, enhancements were made to the Code of Conduct which sets out several rights that merchants have in relation to their contracts and their statements for payment card processing services.

Effective March 2017, in accordance with the Code of Conduct enhancements made in April 2015, TD Merchant Solutions will provide merchants an Information Summary Box and Fee Disclosure Box outlining key elements of their Agreement.

TD Merchant Solutions continues to support the evolution of the Code, and believes that it provides Merchants a greater voice in the payments market, while also balancing the interests of the other participants in the industry.
