It’s taken a decade to build it but having been on the “inside” Big Banks” just don’t serve small busieneeses well. Often it’s the “little person” who is subsidizing the larger businesses with higher fees.

1/2 To our beloved small business community: as you’re presented with new challenges to your business during a time of social distancing, know that you are not alone. Starting today, we’ll be using social to share resources & start conversations as we navigate through this.
Finacial literacy and entrepreneurship 101 for the next generation! Love it. #believe
I may have done a full income statement today for my kids biz including a lesson on margins, volume, and pricing. Plus, a lesson on paying employees and distributions to owners. It ended with them having an account on @WaveAccounting to track their biz. #prouddad #teachemyoung
When we set out to build our Payments platform 5 Yrs ago we had a bold ambition & clear vision. Many said we would fail and we had no chance competing with the incumbents. Proud to work with all the talented current and alumni @WaveHQ. It’s an honour to be nominated. #believe – at Coquitlam, British Columbia
We are thrilled to be nominated for the Payments Company of the Year Award at the @CAFintechAwards! Thank you to everybody who made this possible! bit.ly/2ooGAvb
