This page allows you to view the complete list of CPA codes that can be assigned to your Templates/Payments. A CPA Code is simply a code that identifies the type/purpose of the payment, and every payment initiated using the EFT service must include a valid CPA Code. The Canadian Payments Association (CPA) publishes these codes as well the rules and regulations that have been established by the national payment system. These rules and regulations are available on their web site (payments.ca).
