PROJECT OVERVIEWThe Banking & Cash Management Branch (BCM) within the Provincial Treasury (PT), Ministry of Finance is responsible for contracting acquiring and payment gateway services that enable government to accept and process Payment Card transactions made by the public.
The Fiserv Transition Project is a government-wide business transformation initiative to replace the Province’s current Payment Card service provider with Fiserv. The project affects all ministries and programs that accept debit and credit card payments and includes both:
Card-present payment solutions, where payment cards are used in person at locations such as Service BC offices and BC Liquor Stores;
Card-not-present payment solutions, primarily involving approximately 50 e-commerce applications through which the public makes online payments.
The transition will impact a broad range of business processes, information systems, and stakeholders across government. TD will cease providing payment card transaction processing services on the card networks effective November 1, 2027. To ensure continuity of service, all provincial payment card processing activities must be successfully migrated to Fiserv by August 31, 2027.
BACKGROUNDThe project requires the replacement of government’s existing payment card processing infrastructure, including hardware, software, and transaction processing services across all participating ministries and organizations, including the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB).
The scope of the transition includes:
Approximately 480 merchant accounts;
Replacement ofapproximately 460 Point of Sale terminals;
Replacement ofapproximately 1,000 PIN pads;
and
Reconfiguration and redirection of approximately 50 web applications used to accept payment card transactions.
Payment card transaction data is transmitted daily from the acquiring service provider to BCM’s mainframe system, where it is consolidated, coded by location and program, interfaced with Oracle General Ledger, and distributed to ministry clients for reconciliation and reporting purposes.
Concurrently with the Fiserv Transition Project, BCM is undertaking a separate initiative to replace its existing treasury operations mainframe system with a SaaS Treasury Management System provided by FIS. The new system is a critical component of the Province’s payment card processing and reporting environment and is targeted to go live in May 2027.
As both projects require significant business and information technology resources, there will be resource capacity challenges for subject matter expertise and project support.
