I was at a #gas station to fill my car because I'm expecting gas price to keep going up

It's expensive. I paid 1,97 per L

But I also noticed this little banner on the pump saying "We prefer Debit/Interac" in french.

Of course, Canadian merchants prefer #interac. It's #visa and #mastercard that have higher fees

This hidden tax is obviously passed to consumers on every product. Maybe everything would be cheaper without it

I'm excited for the launch of #RTR in #canada and see what happens

Until #rtr launches in #canada,

I have decided to let go of my credit card and stick to my Visa Debit card.

For now, I think it is the best way to pay:
- Uses #interac (a Canadian tech) whenever possible
- Uses #visa otherwise

It obviously means I'll lose the benefits from using my CC.

The only perk that I was actually using was the monthly 5-15$ from cashback.

Which is pretty negligible considering it is also taxable.

I'll just keep the CC as backup if the Visa Debit fails.

In 2026 or early 2027, #canada should launch Real-Time Rail (#rtr)

That's basically a new modernised payment system that I hope will:

- Cut out middlemen like #visa and #mastercard
- Replace the outdated #interac

RTR should be faster and work online.

Can't wait for it!

Je voudrais attirer votre attention sur un appel aux dons de ma radio préféré ☝ RTR est une radio associative et non commerciale. Des amis à moi y travaillent. Ils font un excellent travail, dénonçant sans cesse injustices et investissent beaucoup dans la sensibilisation politiqueils. Ils ont toujours des problèmes à refroidir les téchniques en été et maintenant ils ont besoin d'un nouveau climatiseur. Ils se réjouissent de chaque don.
