sonarPay Canada is a fully integrated, FCAC-compliant payment processing solution built natively inside the Sonar platform, giving Canadian ISPs real-time reconciliation, transparent fee reporting, and a token migration path that moves subscribers over with zero disruption.

If you're a Canadian ISP, you've likely had to make do with tools that weren't designed with your business model in mind. You've figured out how to make things work, even if it meant juggling multiple systems, handling manual reconciliation, or navigating unclear fee structures. But let's be honest - that's not sustainable. And it definitely shouldn't be the norm.

So, we asked ourselves: what would it look like if payments were designed specifically for the way ISPs operate in Canada?

Not retrofitted. Not forced. But purpose-built - with Canadian compliance, transparency, and ease baked in from the very beginning. That's exactly what we've delivered.

Introducing sonarPay Canada: Payments Built Into Your OSS/BSS

A fully integrated, regulation-ready payment processing solution - natively embedded inside the Sonar platform you already know and trust.

We intentionally took our time launching sonarPay Canada because we didn't want to compromise on what matters most: clear reporting, seamless operations, and full regulatory alignment. The result? A platform that gives ISPs complete control over how they get paid - without the patchwork.
