"We're absolutely thrilled to reach the No. 11 spot on the Globe and Mail's ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies," said Peter Kalen, Founder and CEO of Flexiti. "Since our inception, we have worked hard to help retailers drive sales while giving consumers a payment option better suited to their individual lifestyles.

This award is a testament to the drive and passion of our team, and I want to thank them for their relentless commitment to growing Flexiti into a world class company."
Over the past three years, Flexiti has experienced significant growth, including the acquisition of TD Financing Services' $250m Canadian private label credit card portfolio announced June 7, 2018. The acquisition added more than one million new customers and 900 merchant locations to the Flexiti Network of retailers. As a result, Flexiti is now one of Canada's leading fintechs offering flexible payment solutions to retail consumers in the country. Flexiti will continue its rapid growth through domestic and global market expansion.
