Interac processes 1.4 billion transfers a year. Every crypto project that touches it stacks processor fees, on-ramp fees, and network fees on top. No major Layer 1 has built a native anchor to bypass this. Until now. Interac e-Transfer is not just Canada's most popular payment method. It is the domestic rail connecting over 250 Canadian financial institutions for account-to-account transfers. Interac Debit processed 6.6 billion transactions in 2024. Interac surveys report that 88 percent of Canadians have used it at least once. Most crypto projects access Interac through third-party processors like MoonPay or Coinbase. The user pays the Interac fee, the processor fee, the on-ramp service fee, and the network fee. The transaction clears the bank, then the processor, then the on-ramp liquidity pool before anything settles on-chain. Every intermediary adds cost and latency. On March 20 2026 the Keeta anchor repository merged PR #229 , "Add account owner name to interac" at milestone v0.0.47. One week later PR #242 "Add intermediary fields to iban" shipped at v0.0.48. These are not marketing announcements. They are pull requests. The work is verifiable at github. The account owner name addition is not a minor metadata update. Under Canada's Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act, any electronic fund transfer or virtual currency transfer must carry the originator name, address, and account number. This is FINTRAC's Travel Rule. It came into force June 1 2021. Building the account owner name into the Interac anchor payload means FINTRAC Travel Rule compliance is native to every transaction that flows through the anchor. Not a layer on top. Not a manual review. Built in. Seven days later the team shipped IBAN intermediary fields. IBAN is the international bank account standard that correspondent banks use to route cross-border wire transfers. Adding intermediary fields to the IBAN anchor type is how international wires actually move through the correspondent banking system. Two payment rail updates in one week, domestic Canadian compliance and international correspondent banking infrastructure. A February 2025 Payments Canada study found that 29 percent of Canadians overall find pay-by-bank appealing. Among newcomers to Canada that figure is 53 percent. Among gig workers it is 47 percent. These are the exact demographics that rely most heavily on cross-border remittances and instant payouts. They are also the demographics most underserved by traditional correspondent banking fees and delays. Keeta's Interac anchor addresses this directly. A newcomer uses the domestic Interac system they already trust to initiate a transfer. The Keeta anchor settles it globally through whatever rail the destination requires. No third-party processor. No fee stacking. The identity verification happens at the protocol level and travels with the transaction. The rest of the industry is negotiating with third-party processors to build better deposit buttons. Keeta is shipping the compliance and routing infrastructure required to move global value. The PRs are public. fintrac-canafe.gc.ca/guidance-direc… github.com/KeetaNetwork/a… payments.ca/canadians-have…

I’m gonna say this straight up….the future of settlement doesn’t end with a bunch of networks coexisting. It never does. It consolidates, every single time. Keeta Network is being built like that outcome is inevitable. Not just faster, not just cheaper but designed to push costs so low that everything else starts getting priced out. And once that happens, it’s not even a debate anymore. Liquidity moves where it’s cheapest, simple as that. I hate the fact that so many people mistake quiet for a scam. $KTA is telling you, without saying much at all, that when something is actually being built the right way….it doesn’t need to be loud. It doesn’t need recycled announcements, or empty promises just to keep attention. Like @schenkty says, “networks don’t win because they’re better on paper, they win because they’re impossible to compete with on cost.” That’s the game here!! Keeta network will crush the competition until it hurts and there is no choice. And if you think the old system is fine, just look at Fannie Mae. That’s core infrastructure in traditional finance, and even they’re being forced to rethink everything and lean toward blockchain rails. That doesn’t happen unless something is fundamentally broken!! Too many layers, too slow, too expensive. And @schenkty put it even better: “If we do this at scale, we can save the globe billions of dollars in fees” That’s exactly what Keeta is doing….turning trillion dollar inefficiencies into marketing! Once that switch flips, nobody is going to go back to over paying for settlement and that’s where everything changes!! Keeta isn’t trying to patch into that system. It’s building something that makes it irrelevant. When you can settle faster, cheaper, and at scale, people don’t hesitate they move. Builders go where it’s easier. Capital goes where it’s cheaper. Volume goes where it’s fastest. And before long it stops being one option….it becomes the place everything runs through. This doesn’t end with ten networks sharing the pie. It ends with one pulling so far ahead that everything else just fades out. If you’re paying attention, you already see where this is headed. By the time the $KTA noise catches up, the foundation is already laid and it’s too late to get in early. 🤙
