Canadian Dollar on U.CASH

The Canadian dollar moves domestically on Interac e-Transfer: an email or phone number stands for a bank account and the payment lands in minutes from any Canadian banking app.

Rails settle it at checkout; pegged tokens settle it on-chain. Both live on the same non-custodial U.CASH checkout.

How to accept CAD at checkout

Step 01

Open a checkout

A store, a payment link, or an embedded checkout on U.CASH Pay lists what buyers can pay with. For Canadian Dollar, that includes the Interac e-Transfer rail alongside card processing.

Step 02

Set your prices in CAD

Your prices stay denominated in Canadian Dollar. The checkout derives the crypto amount live at payment time when a buyer pays with a digital asset, and the CAD figure is what your ledger reconciles against.

Step 03

Get paid

Buyers in the rail's reach settle through Interac e-Transfer, and buyers paying the CAD-pegged token settle on-chain to your wallet. Each payment arrives with its reference and transaction detail in the record.

Step 04

Settle your way

Hold receipts, convert them on a schedule, or pay out through the rails that reach your bank. Nothing about the currency choice locks the treasury path.

A practical composition for a Canadian Dollar merchant: the local rail wins domestic transactions on cost and speed, cards cover the buyers who reach for plastic, and the CAD peg carries cross-border settlement without correspondent banks. Offer all of them from one checkout and let each payment find its natural path; the invoice stays in CAD whichever leg carries it.

The on-chain alternative

One CAD-pegged token trades on U.CASH: CAD Digital Inc (CADD). It settles as a standard token on its chain, so a Canadian Dollar receipt can arrive on-chain without any bank in the loop, and the peg holds the two forms of the currency equivalent for accounting.

Canadian Dollar: FAQ

How fast are Canadian dollar payments?
Interac e-Transfer lands in minutes from any Canadian bank. SWIFT covers international buyers.
Is there a Canadian dollar stablecoin?
Yes: CADD, issued by CAD Digital under Canadian regulation, pegged 1:1 and redeemable by the issuer.
How do I price CAD when buyers pay crypto?
Price in Canadian Dollar and let the checkout derive: the invoice carries the CAD figure, the buyer's wallet sees the crypto equivalent at live rates, and your ledger reconciles against the CAD denomination. The currency of record never changes.
Should I hold the CAD peg or convert out on receipt?
Holding the pegged token keeps the exposure in Canadian Dollar terms, which suits a business whose costs are in Canadian Dollar. Converting on receipt into your operating currency removes the exposure at the cost of the conversion fee. Both are checkout settings, changeable anytime.
