Our solutions in action
From national currencies to secure identification, our solutions help governments and citizens navigate daily life with confidence.
Border Security
Faster, safer border crossings—so you can focus on the journey, not the wait.
Border control is constantly evolving, and so are we. Since introducing advanced travel document reader technology in 1995, we’ve continued to deliver integrated software solutions that support some of the most robust border management systems in the world.
Driver & Vehicle
Secure licences and registrations that keep you moving with confidence.
From issuing credentials to maintaining up-to-date records, we help governments by building flexible systems that keep pace with change, so the public can rely on faster service, safer roads, and greater peace of mind.
Civil Identification
Easy, secure ID you can rely on—whether you’re voting, travelling, or accessing services.
A secure, reliable ID system empowers citizens to confidently access essential services such as healthcare and education, while enabling governments to make informed decisions that improve planning, public service delivery, and daily life.
Excise Control
Confidence that what you’re buying is real, safe, and government-approved.
CBN’s excise control solutions combat illicit trade, protect legitimate markets, and safeguard tax revenues, ensuring governments can continue to fund the essential public services communities rely on.
Currency
Trusted money that lasts—whether you’re paying for coffee or saving for the future.
Since 1935, we’ve been trusted to print Canada’s bank notes. That legacy inspires us to keep pushing forward, developing advanced security features that make notes harder to counterfeit and easier for people and cash handlers to verify with confidence.
Lottery & Gaming
Fair games and real wins—so your players can play with peace of mind.
Lotteries do more than entertain. They help fund vital public programs. CBN partners with governments and organizations to deliver secure, engaging lottery and gaming systems that build trust, support local priorities, and ensure fair, successful operations.
