Tens of thousands of shakers are climbing the ranks, receiving their mayor crowns, and turning thousands of shops orange across the country. The momentum is impossible to miss and we're not done yet! 🏆

This is the final stretch, shakers.
2,100 Launch Edition Cards are still up for grabs.
Who will make the biggest moves in the final week!?
See you at the top!!🫡

“Wen physical card?” 💳

The question you’ve ALL been asking.

After 4.5 years of the virtual Shakepay Visa* Prepaid Card doing work, the physical Shakepay Card is almost here, and we’re launching it with a waitlist game built for shakers who love a little friendly competition!

we haven't had a waitlist in a while

ChatGPT year in review summary pretty bang on

The short story behind this feature is that I've been trying to cancel this subscription for the last few months and I just haven't been able to. I keep getting charged $25/mo and it's crippling that I have no protections from someone who has my card details from charging my account.

We know from the card authorizations that come in which merchant is trying to charge your account, so decided to build this for myself at our eng hackathon a few weeks ago with the help of our awesome eng team.

And it's super simple. Pick a merchant, block, and any future charge just gets declined. Wild that no other bank or credit card in Canada (at least that I've seen) allows you to do something so simple and control how anyone can spend on your card (we got inspired by @CashApp).

We plan on extending this feature to PADs as well, where you'll be able to block PAD originators from pulling from your direct deposit info 🔜.

We're building @shakepay to be the single greatest place to control your money and accumulate bitcoin. Lots more to do, one sat at a time!

The product team getting ready for 4 launches next week

Stablecoins are gaining real-world use due to an incoming clear U.S. regulatory framework.

Canada needs a tailored prudential regime to support innovation or risks falling behind.

[Jeremy Black @jerblack]

A few weeks ago, I caught up with @aCameronhuff for a conversation about stablecoins, public key cryptography, and the overall replatforming of Finance. It’s episode one of an interview series about… Replatforming Finance!

Addison has been in crypto since the earliest days of Ethereum in Toronto and has been a key advisor to many of Canada’s most successful crypto companies.

I’ll be attending @WebSummit this week in my backyard. Eager to meet up and talk fintech, payments, web3 and crypto in Vancouver! Let’s connect.

[Shakepay — Buy Bitcoin 🇨🇦 @shakepay]

We’re proud to announce that Shakepay Inc., our CIRO-regulated securities dealer, has officially become a member of @PaymentsCanada, joining an exclusive group of fintechs that have achieved this milestone. This positions us at the forefront of financial innovation in Canada and reflects the hard work we’ve invested in building a trusted, compliant, and customer-first platform—and we’re just getting started!

[Jeremy Black @jerblack]

I'm looking for an Senior iOS Engineer to join my team at Avara.

If you have experience in consumer fintech and want to explore how stablecoin infrastructure is reshaping the industry, you are a great fit.

who else is on the team?

[Macully Clayton @Macully]

@jeremywblack Majorly underappreciated track

[Jeremy Black @jerblack]

I am looking for a react developer to help me refresh the @Kinvie_ website.

Preferred stack is nextJS, TinyCMS/Supabase, and Vercel.

The design is ready to be handed off. The designer is a motion graphics specialist and the three of us will work together to make this an incredible portfolio piece for you. Looking for an individual, not an agency.

@MetaMask @Mastercard @BaanxGroup @MetaMask wondering what you charge on the conversion from crypto to fiat upon a purchase with the cc?

[Macully Clayton @Macully]

Yearning for simpler times? Signs speaking fintech to me at a local farmers market on Vancouver Island while vacationing with my family this week.

In all honesty though, how much cashback will I earn on this transaction? Nevermind, cash only…

In Canada, you can't deposit bitcoin into your RRSP or TFSA.

You can hold a bitcoin ETF and incur a management fee, but not bitcoin directly. In the US, you can hold bitcoin in a registered account.

@Shakepay were trying to change this. Its time to modernize 🇨🇦's tax rules ��

[Macully Clayton @Macully]

What other #fintech companies take perpetual creative risk to cut through the bore of financial products like Mogo does? Just caught the latest for their wealth building app Moka https://t.co/F4YyL7qPHV

Maybe Cash App, Lunar (used to), Robinhood (to some degree)...

WDYT?

[Macully Clayton @Macully]

@jeremywblack How sure are you?
