How to Compare ATM Processing Options in Canada
When comparing ATM processing providers, do not focus on monthly fees alone. Look at settlement reliability, transaction reporting, support responsiveness, network tools, communications setup, and how easy it is to get help when your ATM is down.
- Monthly cost: know your fixed processing and communication charges
- Transaction fees: understand how per-transaction costs affect margin
- Connectivity: verify modem, wireless, or site communication requirements
- Monitoring: choose a setup with visibility and alerting
- Support: make sure you can reach a real person when issues happen

TNS Code of Conduct: How Merchant Complaints Are Resolved (Canada)
If you are a merchant with a question about your ATM contract or statement, the Code of Conduct process starts with your Independent Sales Organization (ISO). If the issue isn’t resolved, TNS has a formal complaint process and escalation path in Canada.
Quick Answer: How do I file a merchant complaint under the Code of Conduct?
Step 1: contact your ISO first. Step 2: if still unresolved, submit a Code of Conduct inquiry to TNS (online form is preferred).
If needed, you can escalate to Interac or file a complaint with the FCAC.

Step 1: Contact your ISO first
If your question is related to your contract or statement, start by contacting your ISO using the contact information on your statement or contract. Many issues can be resolved quickly at this step.
Step 2: Submit a Code of Conduct inquiry to TNS
If you’ve contacted your ISO and the issue is not resolved to your satisfaction, submit a Code of Conduct inquiry to TNS.
TNS recommends using the online form when possible (fastest and most secure).
- Option (i): Complete the complaint form online and click “submit”.
- Option (ii): Download/print the form, complete in dark ink, and email a PDF to
[email protected] with “Merchant Complaint” in the subject line. - Option (iii): Mail a hard copy to:
Attention: Merchant Complaint Department, 10 Compass Court, Toronto, ON, M1S 5R3.
What response time should merchants expect?
TNS indicates it will acknowledge receipt of a complaint within five (5) business days and provide a written decision within
twenty (20) days of receiving the complaint, including a summary, investigation result, explanation, and escalation options.
Step 3: Escalate to Interac or FCAC if needed
If your complaint remains unresolved after TNS’s process, you may contact Interac (Payment Card Network Operator)
or file a complaint with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).

Choosing the Right ATM Processing Setup in Canada
The right processing setup depends on your ATM model, transaction volume, communications method, service expectations, and whether you operate one machine or many. Good processing is not just a back-end detail — it affects uptime, settlement, reporting, and how quickly issues are resolved.
- Single-location operators: need reliable settlement and simple support
- Multi-site operators: benefit from better reporting and monitoring visibility
- Wireless locations: need stable communications and modem compatibility
- Growing operators: should choose a processor that can scale with them
