In just two months, we have seen almost every sector of our economy in Canada become more digitized as a result of the pandemic. Today’s op-ed in @financialpost, penned by our CEO @AdamFelesky, highlights how #openbanking would help us recover. Read more: https://t.co/jXbKr0aiud
Congratulations to this year's winners of the Adam Felesky MBA Scholarship Competition 👏👏👏👏
Thank you to everyone involved in this event, and sincere thank you to @AdamFelesky for his generous support of @DeGrooteBiz and our students!
Could not be more proud to have @ChooStephanie among one of my partners at @p3vc. Congratulations to you and all of the other women recognized. Well done!!
Delighted to have contributed our voice at @p3vc to this important topic. #OpenBanking is an imperative that Canada needs to act on immediately to advance the financial services industry and better serve and protect our consumers. https://t.co/wErsdfh2w4
If you use digital banking & financial services, through a #FinTech or charter bank, I encourage you to read the @SenateCA report on #OpenBanking. I’m proud to have been a part of this important study. Our hope is that it supports rapid progress in Canada.

On open banking: "Most incumbents argue for a marketplace solution with little regulatory oversight. We believe leaving that in the hands of those who have the most to lose from open banking will lead to a poor outcome for both innovative entrepreneurs and Canadian consumers."
Data has the ability to lead to incredible innovation, competition and empowerment — but only if it's the right hands. Canada's new Digital Charter is a positive first step towards levelling the playing field to give control back to consumers. My thoughts: https://t.co/hicXlclMdz
This is why we’re thrilled to be working closely with companies like @Wealthsimple and @GetKOHO who are doing just that and doing right by the consumers to better help them invest, spend, and manage their money in a transparent and fair way. #InnovationNation#fintech

It was our pleasure, @colindeacon. We are just four of many voices in favour of an #OpenBanking-enabled financial system in Canada. We hope this spurs action to be taken to advance the implementation of this important directive for the benefit of consumers across the country.
In just a few moments, Portag3's CEO @AdamFelesky will be providing his remarks at today's Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce discussing the potential benefits and challenges of #openbanking for Canadian consumers. Tune in: https://t.co/AJDYyzgEX2
"We believe that #OpenBanking has the potential to deliver, to more
Canadians, critical consumer benefits that have been championed in recent years by Canada’s provincial securities regulators, including the @OSC_News and the @AMF_actu in Québec" – @AdamFelesky
This morning, we are starting the week off with an event focused on Open Banking in Canada. We are delighted to be convening our LPs, portfolio companies, and key partners – domestic and international – to discuss this very important and timely topic. #openbanking#fintech
