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.
