The fintech market is poised for a boom. Here’s a look at cloud-based fintech companies on the TSX Venture Exchange.

It’s not uncommon to hear that fintech is the field of the future, and the amount of money that’s been invested in the sector over the last several years is indeed significant–no matter which way you look at it.
While global fintech investments dropped from $46.7 billion in 2015 to $24.7 billion in 2016–according to KPMG–that decrease certainly shouldn’t dissuade investors from the amount of opportunities that are to be had in this sector. In fact, over the next three years or so, the global market is poised to grow at at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54.83 percent, as noted by WiseGuyReports.
Although the obvious choice may be turning to big name companies in the space, like TD Ameritrade Holding (NASDAQ:AMTD) or Vantiv (NYSE:VNTV), here the Investing News Network (INN) profiles cloud fintech stocks on the TSXV. The companies below all have market caps of less than $300 million and are listed in alphabetical order.
