Congratulations to our partner Equifax Canada on their announcement to launch a program that will let newcomers transfer their foreign credit history to Canada. We believe this initiative will promote inclusivity and empower newcomers to achieve their financial goals faster. At Borrowell, we believe everyone deserves a fair chance to understand, build and use their credit, regardless of where they come from. We’re excited to see how this program will positively impact the lives of new Canadians. #canada #finance #money https://lnkd.in/g76GxJEf (edited)

In case you missed it, our CEO and co-founder Andrew Graham shares Borrowell's origin story in this Toronto Star story, along with how personal finances for Canadians can improve with continued innovation.
Andrew Graham helped give Canada its first online lending product, then made it free to check credit scores. Now the Borrowell CEO and co-founder is helping Canadians use rent towards their credit scores. In this week's Toronto Star CEO interview Andrew and I chat about the evolution of the FinTech sector, the state of the country's balance sheet, the significance of adding rent to credit history, and why there's so much more the industry could offer Canadians under less restrictive regulatory conditions.
He helped make credit scores free for Canadians. Now he wants to make borrowing easier too
