Wine Wednesday with Daniel Eberhard

Written by Toni Ignacio | May 28, 2026 6:11:52 PM

Hear from Daniel Eberhard, CEO of KOHO, at our next Wine Wednesday for a fireside chat with Sandi Gilbert on what's shaping the future of fintech in Canada. 

As digital banking evolves and new opportunities emerge, the path forward is anything but straightforward. Regulation, consumer trust, infrastructure, and scale remain defining questions for the companies building in this space.

Daniel has spent years navigating that reality firsthand, helping build one of Canada’s most recognized fintech companies in a fast-moving and highly regulated market. KOHO offers a full-service spending and savings account with no hidden fees, that gives cash back on every purchase, and an integrated app that helps users spend smart and save more.  With KOHO reportedly nearing a bank charter and signaling ambitious plans for what comes next, this conversation comes at a particularly interesting moment.

The discussion will explore the realities of building in Canadian fintech today — from digital assets and regulatory complexity to consumer trust, strategic partnerships, and what is crucial to scale in this market.

Join us as Daniel shares his perspective on what’s changing, what opportunities are emerging, and what business leaders and investors should be paying attention to now.
