A “CPC/SCP” charge on your bank or credit card statement is a charge from Canada Post. CPC stands for Canada Post Corporation. SCP is its French equivalent, Société Canadienne des Postes.
If you see a Canada Post charge on your credit card statement, it generally refers to a transaction related to services provided by Canada Post, which could include:
- Postage or Shipping Costs: You may have purchased postage for mailing letters or parcels, either in person at a Canada Post office or online through their website.
- Shipping or Mailing Supplies: If you bought envelopes, boxes, bubble mailers or other packaging materials from Canada Post, the charge would appear on your credit card statement.
- Customs Duties or Import Fees: If you received a package from outside Canada, you may be charged for customs duties or handling fees by Canada Post. They often collect these fees on behalf of the government.
- Money Orders or Financial Services: Canada Post offers some financial services, such as purchasing money orders and money transfer services. Charges related to these services could also appear on your statement.
To confirm the exact nature of the charge, you can cross-reference the transaction with any recent activity involving Canada Post or contact their customer service for further details.
