Today, the total number of fintech companies in Canada has reached 700, according to Accenture, and there continues to be opportunity for growth in the country when it comes to fintech adoption and financing rates. Moreover, a significant increase has been observed in the number of fintech incumbent partnerships.

“In 2020, we saw a lot more collaboration between Canadian fintech and the incumbent financial institutions,” said Hardbacon CEO Julien Brault. “With bank branches suddenly empty, licensing technologies from Canadian fintech or partnering with them was of increasing interest.”
