Toronto is where much of Canadian banking, insurance and asset management is based, and a fintech sector has grown alongside it. Products in this space are judged on trust before features. A user hands over identity documents and financial data, and expects the app to behave carefully.
Fintech: the parts we build
A fintech product is a regulated idea wrapped in ordinary software. We take the ordinary part: account creation, identity document capture, dashboards, transaction views, statements and notifications, with a server side that logs what happens and keeps customer data separated. Licensing, payment partners and registrations belong to you and your advisers. We document the build so those reviews can read how it works.
Established financial services: modernizing internal processes
Larger firms rarely need a flashy consumer app. They need a field tool for advisers, a claims or application intake, or a client portal that replaces email attachments. Those projects succeed when the integration with existing systems is explicit and the approval path is visible. The architecture review is available when you already have a code base and want an outside reading of it.
Ontario and the federal privacy law
Private-sector organizations in Ontario conducting commercial activity are subject to the federal PIPEDA, since the province has no general private-sector statute of its own. PIPEDA rests on principles such as accountability, identified purposes, consent, limiting collection, safeguards and individual access. We turn those into design decisions: what is collected and why, how consent is recorded, how data is protected and how a person can see what you hold. This is engineering, not legal advice.
Contract, invoicing and collaboration
You contract with DigitalFreedom Global LLC, a company registered in Wyoming, USA. The contract and all invoices are in US dollars. Work is remote and written, with a shared board, a build log and meetings by arrangement. Repositories and cloud accounts are set up in your name.
