Fintechs Canada, the unified voice for Canadian fintech, is pleased to announce that Xero has joined the association as a new member. Xero is a prominent accounting software provider known for its commitment to empowering small business owners.
“We’re excited to have Xero on board,” said Alex Vronces, executive director of Fintechs Canada. “With their expertise in and commitment to helping small businesses thrive, we believe Xero is an excellent fit for Fintechs Canada’s mission of improving the economic well-being of Canadians.”
Fintechs Canada is a public policy advocacy organization whose focus is making Canada’s financial sector more competitive and innovative, as well as more stable and secure. The association has become a go-to source for industry perspectives on the modernization of financial sector policy.
We’ve been working with the government to implement a retail payments oversight framework, put Canadians in control of their financial data with “open banking,” build Canada’s new real-time payment system, expand access to payment systems, reduce transaction fees for merchants, reform competition laws, and review the financial sector legislative framework to manage the risks posed by crypto and stablecoins.
“Xero is thrilled to join Fintechs Canada as its mission of enabling greater choice for Canadians through a thriving fintech sector resonates with our mission to help small business owners thrive,” said Faye Pang, Xero Canada Country Manager. “We look forward to working together to support the Canadian small business economy.”
Fintechs Canada looks forward to working with Xero and other members to drive positive change in Canada’s financial sector.
