As Canadians navigate a cost of living crisis, increasing competition in the financial sector has the potential to lower fees and spur greater innovation. Our Head of Public Policy and Communications, Sophia Cote, will be participating in an important panel discussion on competition in the financial sector with Fintechs Canada, Alex Vronces, Tim Sargent, and Ana Badour on Wednesday, October 9th at 1:30pm ET. This panel discussion will focus on how consumer-driven banking, a real-time rail, and digital currencies could make it less expensive for Canadians to manage their money.

We are currently hiring across many different departments, but recently we’ve seen a trend of fraudulent job offers being sent to candidates that do not originate from Shakepay. We know how tough job hunting can be, and finding out the role you were just offered was fake is not an experience we want anyone to go through. We want you to be equipped to spot these illegitimate roles quickly. Here are some signs that the job description and communications with our hiring team are real: • The role is listed directly on our careers page under our current openings: https://lnkd.in/dnfXFmY • Your contact at Shakepay is emailing you from an @shakepay.com email domain. Email communications coming from any other email domains should be considered fraudulent. • Shakepay’s hiring process includes multiple interviews to make sure the fit is right, for us and for you. If you’re being offered a role after a single video interview, this is a red flag that the job is not legitimate. If the role you’re applying for doesn’t hit all three of these criteria, this is unfortunately not a real job opportunity. If you came across this fraudulent role on LinkedIn, please report it by clicking ‘Report this job’ directly on the listing. Job offers should be an exciting time! Let’s work together to help keep it this way. 💙

As Canada's financial landscape evolves, so should the investment strategy of Canadians. Including Bitcoin directly in your RRSP or TFSA can offer powerful diversification, much like stocks or mutual funds. Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million and decentralized nature makes it a strong, long-term investment. That's our belief at Shakepay And while Bitcoin ETFs exist, direct ownership offers more control and potential growth. It's time to push for policy changes with the Finance Canada / Finances Canada to modernize financial options for Canadians. Read more here - https://lnkd.in/gKmPQ5qp

Our General Counsel and Head of Business Development Eric Richmond spoke at an event today hosted by KPMG and Chainalysis about how Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics company, helps companies like Shakepay combat fraud by providing advanced tools for tracking and investigating cryptocurrency transactions. Eric spoke about how Shakepay, by leveraging Chainalysis' platform, is a leader in Canada when it comes to monitoring and identifying suspicious activity in real-time, ensuring compliance with evolving AML regulations and detecting potential fraudulent behaviour.
