Planet MicroCap Showcase: TORONTO 2025 summary22 Oct, 2025

Business model and growth strategy

  • Operates as a branchless digital bank using a partner-based model, earning a 2.5% spread, which is significantly higher than industry averages in Canada.

  • Avoids bad loans by requiring partners to repurchase loans in arrears, minimizing credit risk and eliminating the need for collection departments.

  • Expanded into the U.S. market after obtaining a rare national bank license, leveraging its point-of-sale lending model, and launched a securitization product to match U.S. market practices.

  • Growth has been robust, with 15% year-over-year increases, especially in home improvement lending, and a current U.S. loan book of about $250 million.

  • Uses deposit brokers for funding, with major partners in both Canada and the U.S., and aims to further diversify its broker network.

Technology and operational efficiency

  • Operates entirely in a cloud environment, using proprietary software for deposit and asset management.

  • Developed an in-house AI model that rapidly adjudicates loans and audits 90% of cash flows, greatly improving efficiency and scalability.

  • AI ensures partners stay within credit parameters and dynamically adjusts cash holdbacks based on portfolio performance.

  • Human auditors are still used but are slower than the AI system; the AI also helps optimize energy use in tech facilities.

Digital assets and regulatory engagement

  • Pioneered tokenized deposit receipts (now called deposit tokens) on blockchains like Algorand, Stellar, and Ethereum, offering insured, interest-bearing digital assets.

  • Piloted digital deposit tokens in Canada and is now refreshing and piloting them in the U.S., with both USD and CAD versions available.

  • Regulatory engagement has been strong, with U.S. and Canadian regulators viewing the product as a safe harbor amid concerns about unregulated stablecoins.

  • Structure reorganized to a U.S. bank holding company listed on NASDAQ, making it easier to sell business units and align with U.S. investor expectations.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
