"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our Canadian financial institution partners and the hundreds of SMEs that have pre-registered on the platform and have been patiently waiting for the Canadian launch of the Hub. I promise we'll do our best to get going as quickly as possible to do whatever we can to help your businesses reach new heights. We've been able to fill some key positions to help us do that over the past couple of months, but we still have more to fill.
