In-house Corporation Details
Description of activities
Shakepay is a Montreal-based technology company that was founded in 2015. We are a registered Money Service Business with FINTRAC and Revenue Quebec, as well as the first Quebec based CTP to become registered as a Restricted Dealer. We offer a web and mobile app that allows Canadians to buy, earn, and interact with Bitcoin. Today, we service over 1 million Canadian customers and are exclusive to Canada. We are building safe, reliable and easy to use products that allow Canadians to adopt this new technology with a trusted, locally-grown platform. Part of the adoption process involves educating policymakers on what this technology is and how to draft sensible regulation in such a way that protects consumers while incentivizing growth and economic development in our country.
