Capital and M&A: Is 2023 the right time to put aside conventional thinking about M&A and take a fresh look at our industry.

How can you put together creative deals?
Payment & Collection: The Canadian financial sector is changing on all fronts. Key to the adoption of new services is increased speed, convenience and embedded features for both lenders and borrowers. Lenders should implement best practices in their disbursement and collections strategies by capitalizing on RTP solutions which can help lower costs and enable higher consumer satisfaction. This panel explores why lenders should be taking advantage of faster payments options to keep pace with today’s evolving consumer expectations.
