What does the 2023 Canadian Fall Economic Statement (FES) say for Canadian Fintech?

What does the 2023 Fall Economic Statement say for Canadian Fintech? - FINTECHTraining.com Many in the Canadian Financial and Fintech sectors have been patiently (or impatiently) waiting for direction on Open Banking. This year, the Federal Government delivered in their 2023 Fall Economic Statement on Open Banking Implementation. For many, this is welcome news! A few highlights: We’ve n...

Open banking is a system and practice that allows consumers to share their banking information with third-party companies (like Fintech’s). If you choose to use the services of these companies, your transaction history and other financial data is accessed securely through the use of application programming interfaces.

The practice of open banking could completely change the financial industry. No longer is banking info access limited to traditional banks and the government. For the first time ever - in groundbreaking fashion, third-party companies can get in on the action.

While open banking is available in countries like Australia and the UK, it’s not yet in Canada. But the Federal Government is in phase 3 of their plan to safely introduce open banking to Canadians. After industry, regulators, and consumer representatives are consulted, the first open banking framework will be developed. Soon enough, open banking could be available to all Canadians.

The FinTech industry is a fast paced one that’s always changing, forcing people and companies to constantly stay ahead of the curve. And the industry is booming.

Whether you specialize in AI and machine learning, governance, data and analytics, app development or cyber security, there is a wealth of rewarding opportunities out there. You just need the skills.

What is Fintech? Fintech is a buzzworthy term that stands for Financial Technology and is typically used to describe a sector of companies. But what exactly do these companies do, who are they, and where did they come from?
FinTech refers to a company armed with technology and the desire to compete with more traditional financial methods. They want to deliver financial services just like banks, but they want to do it better, faster, cheaper, or all of the above. So, despite the relative newness of the term itself, FinTech has been around for decades.
As far back as the 1860’s, banks used a device called a pentelegraph to verify signatures, shortly before transatlantic cables were built, leading to an era of new network infrastructure & global linkage. These were the early days of FinTech.
Fast forward a hundred years and we’re introduced to the Diner’s Card for making cashless payments at restaurants, followed by the first credit card from Amex a few years later. Since then, the FinTech industry hasn’t looked back.
When you look at the world of FinTech today, much of it is directly influenced by the global financial crisis of 2008. We have Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, P2P payment systems, digital lending and digital wallets. Chances are, you have a FinTech app downloaded on your phone right now.
In the past couple years the world of FinTech has experienced a correction, but there’s still no doubt the industry as a whole is booming. Traditional credit card companies are worth hundreds of billions, while relatively newer companies are making a big splash:
● Stripe helps companies accept and send payments, and was valued north of $90 billion in 2021
● Klarna is helping consumers make interest free payments, valued at $31 billion in 2021
● Coinbase is a digital wallet and platform for trading cryptocurrencies, valued at over $70 billion in 2021
● Ripple facilitates global payments and remittances using blockchain tech, hitting a $15 billion valuation in 2022
