The Bank of Canada issued a temporary order requiring XTM Inc. and its affiliated entities to immediately cease performing any retail payment activities. The order also prohibits XTM or its affiliates from conducting any transactions or withdrawals from accounts associated with the AnyDay platform. The order was made under section 94(4) of the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) following the Bank’s serious concerns that XTM failed to safeguard client funds in its possession, and its assessment that allowing XTM to continue retail payment activities could be prejudicial to the public interest.
