When we started university, we each found ourselves completely lost in a world of financial jargon. TFSA? RRSP? Credit score? Tax returns? Nobody taught us this in high school, and Googling it led to more confusion - articles written by Bay Street types for Bay Street types.
We were making bad financial decisions not because we were careless, but because we genuinely did not know better. Overdraft fees. Unused OSAP sitting in chequing accounts earning zero interest. Credit cards we did not understand.
So we built the thing we wished had existed when we started. Our backgrounds in investment banking, wealth management, and software development gave us a real understanding of how these products actually work - and just how much that knowledge matters. Fintro is a financial literacy platform designed specifically for Canadians - not watered-down advice, not condescending explainers, but real, practical tools built by people living the same experience.
