Mobile App Design in Canada


Canada has a unique payments ecosystem: Interac — Canada's instant payment and e-Transfer system used by 90%+ of Canadians. Interac e-Transfer is the most popular P2P payment in Canada. Canadian banks (RBC, TD, Scotiabank, BMO, CIBC) are the leading financial platforms. A bilingual interface (English/French) is a requirement for federal brands and Québec businesses.
We design mobile interfaces with an understanding of the Canadian market: Interac e-Transfer UX patterns, bilingual English/French switcher, Canadian postal code formats in address flows, PIPEDA-compliant privacy onboarding.
