Government of Canada - Domestic Payments

The Government of Canada – Domestic Payments dataset presents volumes and amounts processed through the Receiver General on behalf of client departments, agencies and Crown corporations. The dataset represents a comprehensive monthly snapshot of transactions processed though the Receiver General within the following payment types: Direct Deposit (DD), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), domestic wire payments issued through the Large Value Transfer System (LVTS) and Cheques. The data is separated into two major categories: volume and amount. Volume refers to the total number of individual transactions processed by the Receiver General (for each department). Amount refers to the total dollar value of transactions processed by the Receiver General expressed in Canadian dollars. Both volume and amount represent monthly totals and are presented for each category and are grouped by department.
