The Canadian Prepaid Providers Organization (CPPO), the voice of the rapidly growing prepaid payments industry in Canada, will host the fourth annual CPPO Prepaid Symposium virtually on October 14-15 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. eastern.
The fourth annual CPPO Symposium is the premier event for the prepaid technology industry, fueling the transformation to digital banking in Canada. Attended by leaders in fintech, banking, payments and government, the symposium is ideal for learning about the $5 billion Canadian prepaid technology industry. Canada has 74 major players in the country’s growing prepaid industry, including 30 incumbents and 35 new entrants.
“The CPPO Symposium is the must-attend event for companies using a prepaid platform to introduce new and innovative digital banking and payments products and services,” said Jennifer Tramontana, CPPO co-founder and executive director. “Prepaid is a significant payments sector in Canada with a breadth of issuers, program managers, service providers and new fintech entrants embracing innovation in digital banking and payments.
