Description

The Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada, in its role as Receiver General for Canada, is responsible for the management and safeguarding of all federal government money. The Receiver General uses a centralized banking system (Government Banking System or GBS) to record the inflow of funds. Data is stored in the GBS detailing the dates and amounts for deposits received at financial institutions. This dataset, entitled “Summary of remittance deposits collected on behalf of participating federal departments”, provides details extracted from the Government Banking System of statistical information related to payments made by the public at their financial institution to the credit of the Receiver General. The incoming payments detailed within this dataset are initiated through one of two manners: (1) Paper-based bill payments where the client goes to their financial institution and makes a payment to the credit of the Receiver General using a physical payment remittance stub; and (2) electronic bill payments wherein the client makes a payment through their online/telephone banking portal, or through other electronic means offered by their financial institution – these types of payments are termed as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) remittances. The dataset is composed of four unique datafiles: (1) Electronic Data Interchange Batch Statistics, (2) Electronic Data Interchange Detail Statistics, (3) Paper-Based Remittance Deposit Statistics, and (4) Paper-Based Remittance Batch Statistics. All transactions have been either aggregated or anonymized. Updates will be posted quarterly.
