Ontario is a top North American centre for financial services. With the right combination of leading financial institutions, one of the largest stock exchanges in the world (TSX), financial stability, and a technology-forward ecosystem, Ontario gives financial services firms in the province a distinct competitive advantage. The industry consists of 17,000 financial services firms with over 408,000 professionals, which makes Toronto, the capital city of Ontario, the second largest financial hub in North America. Ontario has expertise and leadership in most of the subsectors in the industry, including cybersecurity, financial applications, artificial intelligence, mobile payments, banking process providers, data center technology, block chain, disaster recovery and trading analytics. An ever-growing financial industry in Ontario is not a coincidence. Here are the top five reasons that distinguish Ontario from others: talent, innovation and recognized quality, competitive costs, access to global markets and diversity.
