Interac has signed up for Microsoft Azure’s cloud technology in a deal the Canadian debit network says will lead to greater innovation and faster payments.
As it looks to prosper, the firm is tapping Azure for a hybrid model of public and on-premises private cloud.
The firm says this will help to deliver faster data-rich payments, increased scalability and resilience, improved security and fraud controls, better redundancy and new services for business and individuals.
Peter Sweers, chief technology and operations officer, Interac, says: “An important part of our digital transformation strategy is integrating a secure and compliant cloud platform that positions us for future growth and meets the demands of the quickly evolving digital payments landscape.”
