Moneris Data Services gives you access to high frequency Canadian consumer spending data and recovery trends across geographic regions and industry segments.
As Canada’s largest payment processor1, we harness the power of billions of transactions received in real-time, across all types of merchants, industries, card brands, and geographic areas. Our consumer spending data allows clients to monitor and drive research, forecasting models and policies that support the economic recovery from the global pandemic. You can also get insights into the localized economic impacts of new projects, such as bike lanes, traffic/transit changes or construction projects.
