Three Canadian firms, Trulioo, SecureKey, and FinanceIt, have been named among the global ‘Fintech 100‘; an index of the top disruptive international financial technology firms. The global fintech list is split into two groups: 50 leading established financial technology (fintech) firms and 50 emerging fintech stars of tomorrow. Backed by KPMG and H2 Ventures, 20 different countries were represented on the list, including 40 from the Americas, 20 from EMEA, and 22 from APAC.
