Telpay Incorporated is the largest independent electronic payment company in Canada, processing over $19.5 billion in 2020. [2]
The company's flagship product is Telpay for Business, an electronic payment software for businesses which eliminates the need for cheques.
Telpay was founded in 1985 as a research-and-development division of Comcheq Services, a payroll company started by Bill Loewen in 1968. [3] [4] In March 1985, the first reports of telephone-generated bill payments were delivered to Manitoba Hydro and Manitoba Telephone System. [3]
In 1992, Loewen sold Comcheq to CIBC, but retained control of the Telpay division, thereby establishing Telpay Incorporated, with Loewen as chair. [3]
Telpay headquarters is located in downtown Winnipeg, in a heritage building built in 1909 by the Canada Permanent Trust Company. [4] The current President is Kevin Sokolowski. [5]
