Health, family and control over life are concepts that have taken on new meaning. And at a time when nothing feels certain, helping Canadians feel in charge of their own financial future is a powerful thing. That\u2019s why I\u2019m excited to introduce InLife<sup>TM<\/sup>, the new Interac brand platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YKLSmYIgua0?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen a foundational connection between control and financial optimism \u2013 it\u2019s something we\u2019ve built our brand on for 37 years. We know the importance of giving Canadians choice to pay and get paid quickly, on whichever device they choose. For <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.interac.ca\/half-of-gen-z-and-millennial-canadians-are-more-concerned-about-managing-their-finances-amid-covid-19\/\">63 per cent of Canadians, being in control of their spending lets them feel more optimistic for their financial future<\/a>. And in the context of 2020, with <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.interac.ca\/half-of-gen-z-and-millennial-canadians-are-more-concerned-about-managing-their-finances-amid-covid-19\/\">more than half of Millennials and Gen Z adults reporting they\u2019re more concerned about managing their finances than ever before<\/a>, optimism is a powerful thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid a time filled with unpredictability, the InLife brand platform reflects how Canadians are living life to the fullest while staying in control of their money. &nbsp;That life will look different based on what matters most to you, and your current situation. It could be freelancing from home, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YKLSmYIgua0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">or wherever home is that day<\/a>, grabbing a bite to eat at your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fMozDfzJFsU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">favourite hidden gem<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tNa5ESCJXmo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">starting your side hustle<\/a>,&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jX2HLXUN2GE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finding new homes for old treasures<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;InLife features stories of what we call an \u201c<em>Interac<\/em>&nbsp;Life\u201d&nbsp;&#8211; a life made freer,&nbsp;simpler&nbsp;and more enjoyable by using&nbsp;your&nbsp;own money, while living within your means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jX2HLXUN2GE?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing this past year has shown, it\u2019s the importance of being able to transact conveniently while being physically apart from one another. The InLife brand platform sets the stage for the changing way Canadians are transacting digitally, whether paying for a bite on the go with <em>Interac <\/em>Debit contactless payments or getting paid for remote work with <em>Interac <\/em>e-Transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want Canadians to feel the independence, freedom and confidence that comes with being in control of their own money. The InLife brand platform, with its new tagline and refreshed brand identity, is a visual representation of that mission. That\u2019s why we\u2019ll continue to ensure Canadians can access, spend and send funds from wherever makes them the happiest in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are living through an important moment in history where people are re-examining what brings them joy.
