To foster the development of Québec fintech firms, we participated in the creation of an international network of regulators committed to working together to support financial innovation in their respective markets.
The Global Financial Innovation Network
The Global Financial Innovation Network (GFIN) is an international network of financial regulators committed to working together to support financial innovation of benefit to consumers in the regulators’ respective jurisdictions.
One of the GFIN’s objectives is to give fintech firms the opportunity to simultaneously trial and scale their innovative products, services or business models in multiple jurisdictions.
On June 27, 2019, the GFIN has published its “One Year On” report (pdf - 5 MB)This link will open in a new windowUpdated on 26 June 2019The Global Financial Innovation Network reflects on its first year, which sets out what the GFiN has been doing over the past year, the challenges it has faced, achievements, and its ambitions for the future.
