What Was MoneyConf 2024?
MoneyConf 2024 was the dedicated fintech track embedded within Collision Conference — the world's largest tech conference — held at the Enercare Centre in Toronto, Canada, from 17 to 20 June 2024. Originally a standalone Web Summit fintech event, MoneyConf has evolved into Collision's flagship financial technology programme, bringing together the world's leading banks, challenger fintechs, payment providers, and disruptive Web3 startups in a dedicated track format within a 35,000+ attendee mega-conference. Details sat on the official MoneyConf page. Toronto — Canada's financial capital and one of North America's fastest-growing tech hubs — provided the ideal backdrop.

Key Themes and Event Highlights
The MoneyConf programme at Collision 2024 focused on the three most disruptive forces transforming financial services: generative AI, embedded finance, and blockchain integration.
Event Highlights
- Generative AI in fintech: As the dominant session theme, speakers explored how GenAI is transforming personalized banking, credit underwriting, fraud detection, and customer service — moving from pilot programmes to production deployments across the industry.
- Embedded finance and BNPL: Panels debated whether Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) would become standard across e-commerce, how banking regulations would affect the sector, and which platforms would win the embedded finance race.
- Blockchain integration in fintech: Sessions addressed whether more fintech firms will adopt blockchain as settlement infrastructure, and how uneven global regulation is slowing or accelerating adoption across different markets.
- Payments innovation: Real-time payments, open banking APIs, cross-border remittances, and the race to eliminate payment friction in cross-border B2B transactions all featured prominently.
- Collision 2024 scale: MoneyConf ran within Collision's broader programme which drew 35,000+ attendees from over 100 countries to the Enercare Centre. The scale gave MoneyConf participants access to side events, investor meetings, and networking across all of Collision's tech verticals.
- Toronto fintech ecosystem: A dedicated showcase highlighted Toronto-based fintech companies including Borrowell (AI-powered credit), 1Password (digital security), and fintech ventures backed by RBCx and Kraken.
How Fintech and Crypto Are Growing in Canada
Canada's crypto regulatory framework is administered jointly by FINTRAC, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), and provincial regulators like the OSC. Canada joined CARF in January 2026 — the global crypto tax information exchange. Crypto ownership rates in Canada reached approximately 30% by 2025. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has registered multiple crypto exchanges. Toronto is home to a rapidly growing fintech ecosystem, with Consensus 2025 choosing Toronto as its first international edition following Collision's success.

Impact of MoneyConf on Canada's Fintech Scene
MoneyConf at Collision 2024 gave Canada's fintech community a world-class stage within North America's largest annual tech conference.

For fintech, this meant direct access to over 35,000 technology investors, founders, and executives who might not otherwise engage with Canada's financial innovation ecosystem.
