Dream Payments enables Interac e-Transfer payouts in Canada
This feature enables the transfer of funds using only an email address or mobile number, eliminating the need for banking information.
Interac, a service that enables Canadians to conduct digital transactions, is connected to nearly 300 financial institutions.
The DreamPay platform's new capability complements existing payment methods such as EFT, virtual cards, and cheques.
It is designed to integrate directly with current treasury, ERP, and claims systems without the need for infrastructure changes.
Zurich Canada, part of Zurich Insurance Company, is among the first insurance companies to adopt the Interac e-Transfer for Business service for claim payouts via the DreamPay platform.
Dream Payments chief product officer Anant Tailor said: 'With Interac e-Transfer, we've unlocked and democratised access to real-time money movement in Canada. Whether through our modern Payout API or our no-code DreamPay Payout Portal, we've made it easy for businesses to embed instant payouts into their operations — no disruption, no delays. It's a dramatically better experience for payees, whether it's a claimant anxiously waiting for a payment or a supplier looking to get paid faster.'
Interac Corp chief client officer and group head Glenn Wolff stated: 'Interac e-Transfer is deeply embedded in the way Canadians move money. We're proud to see our capabilities expanding into high-impact use cases like insurance, where speed and trust matter most. Dream's platform is helping more organisations meet customer expectations by embedding Interac directly into their digital journeys.'
The DreamPay platform is equipped to provide a full payments infrastructure, which includes APIs, payment orchestration, and compliance features for KYC and AML.

Singapore LTA holds off on approving cross-border e-hailing with Johor
While the idea of hopping into an e-hailing car to cross from Johor to Singapore may sound like a commuter's dream, it's not quite ready to hit the road. However, there have been talks about it. Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) clarified on 3 Aug that although cross-border ride-hailing was floated during recent discussions, there are currently no plans to fully liberalise such services. This came after a bilateral meeting on 1 Aug between Singapore's Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow and Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, where various proposals to improve cross-border connectivity were explored. Among them was the notion of introducing cross-border e-hailing as a more flexible transport option. In a Facebook post, Datuk Onn Hafiz said the proposed service could reduce congestion, offer commuters more convenience, and create new income streams for local drivers. He added that the concept may also serve as a bridge between the two nations' public transport systems — a nod to both integration and innovation. However, Minister Siow was quick to temper expectations. In his own statement, he acknowledged that while ride-hailing was indeed part of the discussion, no decisions had been made. Instead, he reiterated Singapore's commitment to safeguarding the livelihoods of current drivers and platform workers, and cracking down on unauthorised cross-border services. Currently, cross-border travel by taxi is governed under the Cross-Border Taxi Scheme (CBTS), which allows up to 200 licensed taxis from each side to operate between designated pick-up points — Ban San Street Terminal in Singapore and Larkin Sentral in Johor Bahru. Also on the meeting's agenda: updates on the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, which is on track to begin operations in Jan 2027. Officials discussed everything from construction progress to fare structures and synchronising bus schedules. There are even proposals to start cross-border buses earlier than the current 5am roll-out to help untangle the morning gridlock at the Causeway. So while the idea of seamless ride-hailing across borders may still be parked at the curb, the conversation is certainly moving. And in the realm of transport diplomacy, that's a ride worth watching.

TFSA Investors: 2 TSX Stocks With Ultra Safe Dividends
Written by Adam Othman at The Motley Fool Canada Dividend investing is one of the best strategies that Canadian investors rely on for reliable long-term wealth growth. I am not talking about investing in ultra-high-yielding dividend stocks. A sound long-term strategy focuses on sustainability and not higher dividends. Rather than picking stocks for higher yields, it is better to consider whether the underlying business is good enough to maintain and grow payouts. The TSX boasts several high-quality stocks with a reputation for delivering rock-solid dividend payouts and lengthy dividend-growth streaks. These stocks have underlying businesses with solid fundamentals, healthy balance sheets, and the kind of consistent cash flows that make them dependable even during bear markets. Given this backdrop, here are two TSX dividend stocks with ultra-safe dividends that might warrant a place in any self-directed income-focused portfolio. Fortis Fortis Inc. (TSX:FTS) is the darling stock for many income-focused investors as a better alternative to fixed-income securities. The $34.8 billion market-cap company owns and operates 10 utility transmission and distribution assets in Canada and the US, and it has stakes in several utility companies in the Caribbean. Utility companies aren't the most exciting for growth-seeking investors, but they offer reliable dividends. Most of Fortis' revenue comes from long-term contracted assets in highly rate-regulated markets. It means the cash flow is predictable and largely unaffected by broader economic volatility. The debt-intensive nature of the industry means higher interest rates can weigh on its financials. That is what likely contributed to weaker performance in recent years, but the recovery is evident since the central banks started reducing key interest rates. Thanks to its low-risk earnings and the defensive nature of the industry, Fortis stock has increased its payout for 51 years and maintained a sustainable payout ratio. As of this writing, it trades for $69.30 per share and boasts a 3.6% dividend yield. Canadian Natural Resources Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ) is another stock with ultra-safe dividends. The Calgary-headquartered $90.2 billion market-cap company is one of Western Canada's largest oil and natural gas producers, with operations in offshore Africa and the North Sea further supplementing its operations. It has an extensive and diversified portfolio of low-decline and long-life assets. The company's low maintenance capital spending generates significant free cash flows, even when commodity prices are volatile. CNQ also benefits from low break-even costs to sustain dividends and operations, offering it a cushion during downturns and driving growth during upticks. CNQ stock has a 25-year dividend-growth streak, with a 21% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The company is leveraging the low-interest rate environment to reduce its debt and position itself for potential strategic acquisitions. As of this writing, it trades for $43.12 per share and boasts a 5.5% dividend yield. Foolish takeaway It's important to remember that stock market investing is inherently risky. Dividend hikes or payout regularity are not a 100% guarantee, even when you invest in blue-chip stocks with virtually impeccable track records. By doing your due diligence, you can minimize the capital risk but not eliminate it. Building a portfolio of such high-quality stocks in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) can be an excellent strategy. The tax-sheltered status of the account means you will not incur income or capital gains taxes on your returns. Reinvesting dividends to buy more shares can help you unlock the power of compounding to accelerate your wealth growth. To this end, FTS stock and CNQ stock can be excellent buy-and-forget holdings to consider for your self-directed investment portfolio.

Liverpool favourite now set to join Newcastle United
A favourite admired by Liverpool's scouting department is now on the verge of joining Newcastle. So much of what happens in this window has been impacted by the movement of the Magpies for the Reds. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! It was very clear from the beginning that Liverpool wanted to sign Alexander Isak. What was less clear is that they didn't just want Isak but also Hugo Ekitike. When Newcastle tried to pounce on the Frenchman, Liverpool swooped in and completed that deal. Inadvertently that has had a delay on Newcastle's acceptance to part ways with Isak. After missing out on Ekitike, Newcastle have missed out on Benjamin Sesko as well. Right now Eddie Howe's side are making other moves, and it looks like at least one deal is close to being completed. It's a deal that will have admiration from Liverpool's scouting department. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range According to Sky Sports' Keith Downie, Newcastle are now closing in on a deal for Yoane Wissa. The Brentford forward has made it clear he wants to leave the club and a move now looks likely for him. This is a move that will pique Liverpool's interest. Not just because it has ramifications for Isak but also because Wissa is very much a player admired by the club's scouting department. Ian Graham highlighted this in his book: How to Win the Premier League. In an excerpt praising the statistical evolution at Brentford, Graham noted Wissa as one of the best signings the club has made using data: "Yoane Wissa had been brilliant in Ligue 2 then in Ligue 1 for years - in 2012 he would have been on Liverpool's shortlist but when he moved to Brentford, we had the luxury of shopping in more expensive markets," Graham said.
