Mogo (TSX: GO) is not a bank—by design. We’re a financial technology company that offers convenience, transparency and a more engaging customer experience. Think Uber- and Airbnb-level innovation, but for the finance world. With over 200K members and growing fast, we’re using technology and design to not only transform the way consumers access financial solutions (it only takes about three minutes to create a MogoAccount online), but also empower them to take control of their financial health.
