Fans can now pay for in-seat orders at the Bell Centre using <\/em>Interac\u00ae<\/sup> Debit for e-Commerce<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TORONTO \u2013 November 28, 2023 \u2013 <\/strong>At the start of the season, the Bell Centre announced that Interac has become the official preferred payment method of the Bell Centre and proud sponsor of the Club de Hockey Canadiens\u2019 Montr\u00e9al Canadiens organization (the \u201cMontreal Canadiens\u201d). The partnership between Interac Corp. (Interac) and the Montreal Canadiens is designed to enhance the experience of those visiting the Bell Centre through secure, convenient payment options.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInterac<\/em> Debit transactions at the Bell Centre have significantly increased since 2020, and have grown in importance since we made the shift to a cashless environment. This growth reinforces Interac as a preferred payment choice for fans, and we\u2019re looking forward to further strengthening the fan experience by introducing new Interac solutions and activations,\u201d said France Margaret Belanger, President of Sports and Entertainment, Groupe CH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help ensure fans never miss a moment of the game or show, fans can now pay with Interac<\/em> Debit e-Commerce<\/a> for in-seat food and drink orders at the Bell Centre made in the Montreal Canadiens app. Having loaded their debit card within their digital wallet, they will be able to pay in a few easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cQuebec is a key market for us, and we are thrilled to deepen our ties within it by collaborating with the Bell Centre as the preferred payment method and the Montreal Canadiens as an official partner,\u201d said William Keliehor, Chief Commercial Officer, Interac Corp. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to offer Interac payment solutions throughout the Bell Centre for fans who value the ability to use their own money seamlessly to enrich the experience at each game \u2013 whether ordering in-seat through the Montreal Canadiens app, paying in-person at the concession stand or purchasing 50\/50 tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership extends beyond payments, extending support to small businesses in the general Montreal area through resources, curated experiences, and education. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
