Open Banking Expo is pleased to announce Symcor as the headline partner of Open Banking Expo Canada 2025, which takes place on June 17 at the iconic MTCC in Toronto.
This is the first year Symcor is headlining Canada’s flagship Open Banking Expo after supporting it as an event partner in previous years.
Symcor is a leading technology provider of customer communications, payment, fraud detection and Open Banking services, offering industry expertise and secure solutions for every stage of its clients’ business evolution.
Canada’s only dedicated consumer-driven banking and Open Banking show is expected to welcome more than 600 visitors through the doors of the MTCC, where over 80 speakers, including industry leaders, regulators, and innovators, will share their insights across three dynamic stages.
Given recent political developments in Canada and the government’s proposed 2026 launch for consumer-driven banking, the show provides a timely opportunity for the financial ecosystem to delve into regulatory alignment, technical infrastructure, and enriching consumer experiences aimed at empowering Canadians.
Canada’s Department of Finance released key components of the Open Banking framework in the 2024 Fall Economic Statement in December, encompassing participants, the breadth of data sharing, and functionality.
With the groundwork laid, attendees are invited to engage in critical discussions, share insights, and align strategies as Canada advances toward operational Open Banking.
Symcor’s Saba Shariff
Saba Shariff, senior vice president, chief strategy, product & innovation officer at Symcor, said: “At the core of Open Banking is the secure and efficient exchange of data, which drives innovation and better outcomes for consumers. Symcor’s COR.CONNECT platform bridges the gap for both data providers and recipients, enabling collaboration and compliance while reducing the complexity of getting Open Banking-ready.
“By working together with industry participants, we can scale Open Banking faster, more securely, and more cost-effectively, unlocking powerful use cases that benefit all Canadians.”
On the main stage panel at Open Banking Expo Canada 2024, Shariff explored strategies for mobilizing a Made-in-Canada Open Banking framework and what businesses can do to prepare and support their customers’ needs.
Adam Cox, co-founder and managing director of Open Banking Expo, said: “We are thrilled to announce Symcor as this year’s headline partner for the first time, after years of steadfast support as an event partner.
“Open Banking Expo Canada 2025 is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in incisive discussions, gain fresh insights, and align your strategies as Canada takes strides to implementing Open Banking. Be part of the dialogue that will shape the financial future of a nation.”
