TORONTO, March 30, 2016 /CNW/ - Canada's growing fintech space saw leading online lending platform, Lendified Inc., join forces with Mentio Technologies this week. Mentio is a Vancouver-based company specializing in automated cash flow forecasting.

For Lendified, which offers fast online loans to Canadian small business owners, the acquisition marks an expansion into global markets as Mentio's multi-currency technology serves customers in the USA, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia.

"It has always been our intention to become a scalable, global lending platform," said Troy Wright, Founder and CEO of Lendified. Wright, who brings decades of executive-level international banking experience to Lendified, stated, "I've overseen lending operations domestically and abroad, and experienced firsthand the challenges of profitability in this segment.
