Where TrustField stands today
TrustField provides software and API infrastructure for regulated market-access programs — intake, operator workflows, audit trail, and routing toward licensed endpoints. TrustField does not participate in settlement or custody.
RPAA context
Programs operating under Canada's retail payments framework may require registration and safeguarding standards. TrustField tooling supports structured flows and evidence; it does not replace counsel or filings.
BoC retail payments supervision →Program obligations
Partner programs may have independent AML/KYC obligations. TrustField workflow tools support alignment; we do not file on your behalf.
Infrastructure layer
TrustField sits between end-user flows and licensed market infrastructure. TrustField does not participate in settlement or custody.
TrustField does not issue stablecoins or operate as a licensed exchange operator.
Path forward
Defined path to licensed PSP services under RPAA; API access and program tooling are available while partner and registration paths mature.
