This month Tilt is celebrating its one year anniversary in Canada, releasing new data on how Canadians from coast to coast are collecting money on Tilt for everything from rallying communities through inspirational fundraisers to more everyday uses with friends, family and colleagues.

Now every two minutes Canadians are tapping into the power of collective action through Tilt, changing the way we make social payments - especially on mobile.
