Five banks own 96% of the Canadian market. The relative cost of banking has barely moved in a century.
Rob Khazzam co-founded Float and just raised a $60 million Series B. Jeff Adamson co-founded Skip the Dishes, then Neo Financial, and scaled it to 600 people. Both are building independent technology companies inside one of the most protected industries in the country.
In this conversation: how homebuilt fintech platforms are pressuring the incumbents, how early fintech advocacy on NSF fees shifted consumer costs nationally, why Rob runs Float on a day-to-day survival mindset, the "misfit" advantage in hiring against rigid institutional experience, the accountability frameworks from the early days of Skip and Float, why a Schedule I banking license isn't the answer most founders think it is, and what a decade of open banking consultations actually means for who owns your data.
Moderated by Philippe Burns, Co-Founder of Tech Thursday.
