Government of Canada - Payment Post-Issue Statistics

The Government of Canada – Payments Post Issue Statistics dataset presents “Post issue” volumes and amounts processed through the Receiver General on behalf of client departments, agencies and Crown corporations. Post issue statistics refer to the status and activities of payments after they have been issued. The data is categorized by payment attempt status: redeemed, cancelled, returned, reproduced and duplicated. Furthermore, each value is divided by payment scope (indicating whether the payment is foreign or domestic) and by payment method (cheque, direct deposit, electronic data interchange, Large Value Transfer System transactions, and foreign wire payments). 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 amounts represent monthly totals and are presented for each category and are grouped by department.
