For example, the number of Visa payWave transactions in Canada doubled in the past year and today, there are 13 Visa payWave transactions every second(i)."

"We are proud to be working alongside Visa to enable this pilot project and share the vision of the future of fundraising," said René Bélanger, President, Global Payments Canada.

"Working with Visa, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and Global Payments is a fantastic opportunity to make our shared vision of the evolution of payments driven by customer experience a reality.
