About Cashco:

Cashco is a champion for the underbanked of Canada. Over 28% of Canadians define themselves as underbanked and those are the people we service every day. The underbanked are people who do not have access to mainstream banking, are often declined for credit, and depend on alternative financing. We’re here for them.

Our Pathway to Using Business as a Force for Good report (Our Pathway Report) is designed to change the conversation. Our Pathway Report aligns our business strategy with our overall purpose to provide relief today and hope for tomorrow and demonstrates our commitment to inclusive financing.

Let us show you the steps we’re taking to End Financial Exclusion.
