The Canadian fintech community is set to kick off 2025 with an exclusive panel discussion exploring the future of financial technology in Canada.
Hosted in partnership with Category Communications, Payments, Platforms + Progress: What’s Next for Fintech in 2025 will bring together industry leaders and innovators to discuss emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the fintech landscape amid a turbulent economic and political climate.
The panel at OneEleven in Toronto features a stellar lineup of thought leaders: moderator Tal Schwartz, General Partner at Exit North Ventures; Andrew Graham, CEO of Borrowell; Cato Pastoll, CEO of Loop; Yvette Wu, CEO of Yield Exchange; and Laviva Mazhar, Principal at Luge Capital.
Set against a backdrop of economic uncertainty—marked by a weak dollar, impending trade tariffs, and stalled legislative progress on key issues like open banking and tax incentives—the panelists will explore how startups can effectively navigate these challenges while addressing Canada’s financial sector’s unique dynamics. They will delve into strategies for collaborating with or competing against Canada’s largest banks, which dominate the North American market, offering actionable insights for fintech founders.
As the conversation turns to innovation, panelists will weigh in on the transformative role of AI in the sector, discussing whether it is overrated or underrated and examining its real-world applications and implications for fintech in 2025.
This event offers a unique opportunity for startup founders, seasoned professionals, and fintech enthusiasts to connect and gain insider perspectives on the future of fintech in Canada.
Payments, Platforms + Progress: What’s Next for Fintech in 2025 takes place on January 28th at OneEleven in Toronto. Attendance is by registration only, so secure your spot now.
