We’re here to simplify spend
for Canadian teams

From coast to coast, Float is building a movement of modern financial management.

Business banking in Canada sucks

Banks are stuck in the dark ages, and expense management
software is reactive (and costly). That’s where Float comes in.

What We Do

Welcome to the Float way

Corporate cards powered by intelligent spend management software are just the beginning.

How We Do It

Definitely not a bank

Float is a Money Services Business that pairs innovative financial
solutions with intuitive software to empower companies and teams.

Trusted Partners

Float partners with Tier 1 Canadian banks to hold customer funds in dedicated accounts.

Cash stays as cash – not in GICs or money market – and Float drives interest earnings to customers.

Modern Payments

Money moves between financial institutions via payment rails – which are known to be a little, dated.

We’ve engineered a modern solution on-top of an archaic system that saves businesses time and money.

Enterprise Security

Float is SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI-DSS certified to protect your company’s sensitive data.

Advanced fraud detection and prevention protocol and 24/7 fraud monitoring keeps customer payments safe.

We’re proud to be the first Canadian product in market

Why We Do It

Letting teams focus on what matters

Finance teams should be able to enable teams to spend without roadblocks or administrative headaches.

What drives us

The sole reason for our existence is to delight our customers, and we are constantly seeking to better serve and go the extra mile. We always start with the customer experience and work backwards to create the best possible experience.

We wake up every day eager to move quickly and execute swiftly. We approach projects and our workday with ferocity and intensity, knowing that doing so over a sustained period of time will mean that we ship much faster and achieve more.

We are doing something challenging and uncertain yet worthwhile in order to make a major impact for our customers and the industry. We are willing to take big risks in the pursuit of building great products for our customers. Doing so is worth it, even if we fail.

As a company and team, we must constantly be learning and growing. What we did last year will not necessarily set us up for success next year. The world is competitive and ever-evolving, especially in a startup. We all accept that at any moment we are the latest version of ourselves – we can (and should) always strive to grow and be better.

We act like shareholders of a small business, not like employees of a large corporation. We take ownership and accountability over everything we do, even if it doesn’t perfectly fit in our day-to-day job description.

We act with courage and aggressively seek the truth in an effort to achieve our mission. We say what is on our minds and what we believe is best for the company and our mission, even if it is uncomfortable. We challenge directly while caring personally.

What we are doing – as a company and team – is exceptionally difficult. We will encounter obstacles. We will experience failures. Not everything will go as planned. We will face these challenges head on and never back down. We believe that where there is a will, there is a way.

Backed by the best

Float is backed by some of the top venture and fintech investors in the world,
as well as senior executives at Uber, Shopify, Xero, Wave and H&R Block.

We’re growing.
