One of the joys of gambling at a top online casino in Canada is that you often have access to a wealth of different, safepayment methods. On this page, we’re going to be looking at some of the safest ones around.
We are not going to cover every single online payment method available online here. We’re just going to cover those that are considerably more secure than others, and that you’ll probably know and understand how to use.
Debit and credit card
This is the staple payment method for buying things online in Canada. If you have a debit or credit card, you can make online payments in a matter of seconds. There’s absolutely no fuss and this has become a staple way of payment for many top industries, from casinos to local businesses.

Now, you would think that tapping your card details in online wouldn’t be safe – however, it is. All of the top online shopping platforms and online casinos, including casinos offering fast payouts, will use secure systems to process your payment details, which means that nobody other than yourself will be able to see your card details.
Of course, we do have to stress that this will only apply to proper websites – not scam websites. You should make sure that the website you are using is legit before you go tapping your card numbers into it. You might also want to run a spyware check on your computer to make sure that there is no keylogger or similar installed. Although, if you stay safe online, this probably won’t happen.
Most banks will give you some sort of coverage if your card details are stolen, helping to add to the whole safety of the transaction.
Bank transfers
Bank transfers can be a slow way to pay, since it can take almost a whole working day for the money to land in the account of the person you’re sending to, but once again, assuming that the person you’re sending money to is legit, then you shouldn’t have any major issues. It is a safe method, since you’ll need to set up the bank transfer yourself.

It isn’t really a payment method that we would recommend people use too often, due to its inherent slowness. However, if you’re planning to pay a few bills or make a transfer to an online casino, then you should be fine going down the route of a bank transfer.
Interac
Interac is one of the most popular payment methods among Canadians, but it isn’t available in any other country. You probably already know how Interac works, right? It allows you to make instant payments to other people and companies using your bank account.
The Interac system has been set up to be fast and secure, and you’ll probably want to use it wherever it is available, although, once again, it is only available in Canada. So, the person or company that you’re sending money to needs to have a bank account in Canada, otherwise it won’t work at all.
Google Pay and Apple Pay
Both Google Pay and Apple Pay are mobile platforms that let you connect a variety of other payment methods to them. The idea is that you can use Google Pay or Apple Pay to make payments online and in stores.
As these platforms are run by some of the largest companies in the world, you know they’re safe. The only downside is that there aren’t many places that will directly accept Google Pay and Apple Pay. In fact, if you find them, they’re much more likely to be on mobile-friendly sites than random websites online.

eWallets like PayPal and Skrill
PayPal and Skrill are known as eWallets. They are a way to hold your payment details, including bank cards and bank details. You can then make payments using your eWallet online, and nobody will be able to see your payment details at all. This makes the payment convenient, safe and incredibly fast.
Most online platforms will accept at least one eWallet payment option, with PayPal being the most popular in every industry, from local shops to fitness and wellness hubs, and Skrill will be more popular among top online casinos.
Paysafecard
Paysafecard (stylized as paysafecard) is a nifty payment method that you won’t see used too much online, but it is safe. A Paysafecard will let you buy a ‘card number’, either in-store or online. This card number will be unique to you. If a site accepts Paysafecard, you’ll tap in the number that you’ve been given, and the money will come from your Paysafecard account, nice and quickly. It is a fast process, and it is very safe since at no point are you going to be sharing your payment details with anybody. You won’t even need to type them in online if you’ve picked up a Paysafecard from an online store.

As you can see, there are many top online payment methods that you can use. All of those we have detailed on this page will be safe. So, just choose the payment method you’re most familiar with – you can’t go wrong.
