We already have Interac, a good homegrown solution. I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard for banks to piggyback on it to make credit transactions rather than debit.
I used to only use a debit card for my entire life, but about 6 or 8 years ago, I started to rely on my CostCo credit card. With my executive Citi Costco membership, I got about $700 cash rewards for 2025.
