Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in FinTech

Canadian FinTech is spearheading a diversity, equity and inclusion initiative across all FinTech Sectors in Canada. Financial services companies are seeing an average 2-4% revenue growth per 1% increase in diversity. This imbalance needs to be righted.

The business case for diversity in FinTech is clear: inclusive companies are better able to attract talent, tap into new markets and create innovative products.

However, DEI needs to go beyond checking a box. The industry needs to apply the same innovative thinking and commitment to solving the problem of DEI as we do with our products and services. We need to make a concerted and conscious effort to change the balance of visible inequity in the sector with the entrepreneur vigor that we build our companies to transform the financial industry.
