CLA’s Message of Recognition for the Lending Industry and Fintech
Here is what the CLA has to say about the contribution of the lending industry and fintech in 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis:
2020 has been a year marked with incredible resilience, recovery and innovation. Though many industries played vital roles supporting Canada’s businesses and citizens through COVID, the lending industry deserves special recognition. This year lenders took extraordinary steps to support Canadian families and entrepreneurs. Many instituted relief programs, cut rates, and worked with all levels of government to ensure that those in need would still be able to access credit.
COVID has also been a period of immense innovation in Canada. Forced to digitize, lenders and borrowers have embraced fintech, leading to an increase in financial inclusion and literacy across the country. What is even more remarkable is the number of new firms launched during this period.
