We\u2019re now seeing more and more solutions being developed for specific segments of underserved Canadians from newcomers to self-employed to temporary foreign workers. More importantly, we\u2019re proud of how our program is resonating with those with lived experiences of the day-to-day challenges Canadians face. \u201d says Fintech Cadence\u2019s Director of Financial Health and founder of IFH Lab, Elvis Wong.<\/p>\n
