On September 26, 2025, the Globe and Mail released its 2025 Report on Business ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies. The annual list tracks Canadian firms based on three-year revenue growth, offering a quick snapshot of where innovation is scaling fastest (think revenue, headcount, growth).
This year’s ranking features a great group of fintech and digital finance firms that are impacting how Canadians borrow, pay, invest, insure, and embed financial services into everyday life.

While the Globe and Mail ranking provides a valuable view of Canadian fintech growth, it is far from exhaustive. Many high-growth firms remain absent because they operate in stealth mode, choose not to disclose financial data, or do not meet eligibility thresholds. Early-stage innovators, companies with holding structures abroad, and ventures acquired by larger incumbents also fall outside the ranking.
For NCFA’s community, this means the list represents only part of the country’s dynamic ecosystem of fintech, Web3, AI, alternative finance, and digital-first ventures that are scaling globally.
