Canadian Western Bank (CWB) has collaborated with Brim Financial for Platform as a Service (PaaS) and credit card infrastructure.
The move will enable CWB to utilise Brim’s PaaS to offer a full suite of personal credit cards. The platform can also be used to offer digital banking services.

As agreed, Brim’s PaaS in-branch onboarding portal and an online self-service portal will be integrated within CWB’s existing banking platform.
Overall, CWB clients will be able to earn Brim Rewards, access Buy-Now, Pay-Later capabilities and gain mobile wallet compatibility. They can also lock their cards, track expenses and block/unblock foreign or online transactions.
CWB Banking executive vice-president Stephen Murphy said: “Our partnership with Brim to roll out a suite of consumer credit cards and innovative platform is another step forward in how CWB continues to deliver a boutique offering designed for business owners that seamlessly integrates personal banking needs into a business and wealth financial relationship.

We have a common ambition to disrupt Canadian financial services and provide a clear alternative to those who want more from their financial partner.”
