Cashco Financial Releases 5th Annual Pathway Report: Pathway 2024
EDMONTON, AB, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - Cashco Financial proudly releases its 5th annual Pathway Report, titled "Pathway 2024: Moving Canadians Forward." This edition marks a turning point for both Canadians and the lending industry, reflecting on how Cashco prepared for—and adapted to—the sweeping regulatory changes that took effect in January 2025, all while remaining grounded in human-first service.
Throughout 2024, Cashco worked toward the anticipated federal lending reforms, shaping its strategy and operations in advance of the new rules. These changes, aimed at protecting borrowers, brought both opportunity and disruption. As access to traditional credit tightened, Cashco leaned into its vision: to deliver flexible, responsible, and digitally accessible lending for Canadians often left behind by mainstream financial systems.
" Pathway 2024 isn't just a look back—it's a call to action for how lending must evolve," said Lindsay Dodd, CEO of Cashco Financial. " Yes, we assess credit risk and review scores—but people are more than their credit file. Canadians deserve a system that recognizes real-life complexity, not just numbers."
2024 Report Highlights
Over 170,000 loans issued, helping Canadians manage essential needs like rent, food, utilities, and car repairs.
$123.8 million disbursed, with demand surging in response to federal interest rate caps.
Enhanced digital platforms, offering 24/7 application access, faster decisions, and e-transfer funding—across both urban and rural communities.
Refined credit decisioning, using behavioural data such as income consistency, bill payments, and real-time banking activity.
As a privately held company, Cashco is not required to disclose operational data—but for the fifth year in a row, it has chosen to do so, reinforcing its values of transparency, accountability, and purpose-driven leadership.
Meeting Change Head-On
2024 was a year of transition. The federal rate cap was designed to protect borrowers—but also resulted in a growing credit gap. While many lenders responded by tightening approvals and relying more heavily on automation, Cashco took a different path.
By investing in both advanced technology and dedicated people, Cashco stayed focused on saying "yes" responsibly balancing traditional credit metrics with human insight. For clients with thin credit files, irregular income, or a need to rebuild, that approach made all the difference.
"Lending can't be one-size-fits-all anymore," added Dodd. "The world has changed. Canadians have changed. It's time the financial system did too—and we're proud to be helping lead that shift."
Looking Ahead to 2025
With a bold commitment to help 1 million Canadians move from financial anxiety to financial strength, Pathway 2024 sets the stage for continued impact.
In 2025, Cashco will stay focused on:
Expanding its reach across Canada
Delivering smarter, more personalized credit decisions
Ensuring every borrower feels seen, heard, and supported

Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with an investment in products (the "Global X Funds") managed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. The Global X Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. Certain Global X Funds may have exposure to leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses which may result in greater volatility in value and could be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk. Such risks are described in the prospectus. The Global X Money Market Funds are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Funds will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the Global X Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing. The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an exchange traded fund's ("ETF") performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor's original investment will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end. Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF distribution policy in the prospectus for more information.

There are inherent risks associated with products linked to crypto assets, including Bitcoin Futures. While Bitcoin Futures are traded on a regulated exchange and cleared by regulated central counterparties, direct or indirect exposure to the high level of risk of Bitcoin Futures will not be suitable for all types of investors. Given the speculative nature of bitcoin and the volatility of the digital currency markets, there is no assurance that BCCC or BCCL will be able to meet their respective investment objectives. An investment in BCCC or BCCL is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin and the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

Photo by GEOFF ROBINS / AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES OTTAWA — Almost two in five Canadians say recent court rulings in the U.S., and the ongoing legal battle over President Donald Trump's tariffs, have made them feel less confident in the future of trade relations, a new poll suggests.

Sixteen per cent of Canadian respondents say they feel more confident, while 37 per cent say their level confidence in the future of the trade relationship hasn't changed. The Leger poll, which was conducted online and can't be assigned a margin of error, surveyed more than 1,500 people between May 30 and June 1. The poll also surveyed more than 1,000 Americans. Their responses to the poll were substantially similar. Thirty-six per cent of American respondents said the recent court rulings and the ongoing legal battle over Trump's tariffs made them feel less confident about the future of trade with Canada and with the rest of the world. Another 19 per cent reported feeling more confident and 31 per cent said their opinion hadn't changed. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Trump's tariffs are still hitting most countries around the world after a federal appeals court temporarily paused a decision last week by the U.S. Court of International Trade to block his tariffs. The court said Trump went beyond his authority when he used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to take his trade war to the world. A federal appeals court granted the Trump administration's emergency motion for a temporary stay, allowing those tariffs to stay in place for now. The poll suggests that Albertans are reporting the lowest level of confidence in the state of trade relations — 48 per cent of them told Leger they feel less confident about the future of Canada_U.S. and U.S._international trade relations. That's compared to 38 per cent of Quebecers, 37 per cent of Ontarians and 35 per cent of people in B.C. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Among Canadians 55 years of age and older, 43 per cent reported feeling less confident in trade relations; just 33 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 34 said the same. More women than men said they were losing confidence. While many Canadians expressed concern about the future of trade relationships, many also said the fact that U.S. courts are trying to limit Trump's impact on trade policy increases their trust in America's institutions. The poll suggests that 45 per cent of Canadians say their trust in U.S. democratic institutions has increased, while 17 per cent say it has decreased. Almost a third of Canadians said it has had no impact on their opinion. Quebecers were the most likely to say their trust had increased, at 54 per cent, compared to 45 per cent of people in B.C., 43 per cent of Ontarians and 39 per cent of Albertans. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Canadians aged 55 and over were more likely to say their trust had increased than younger Canadians. Among the Americans surveyed, 38 per cent said the fact that U.S. courts are trying to limit Trump's trade powers increases their trust in U.S. democratic institutions. Another 24 per cent said it decreases their trust and 26 per cent said it had no impact on their opinion. Andrew Enns, Leger's executive vice-president for Central Canada, said that if there had been only one ruling — the one that blocked the tariffs — the confidence levels recorded by the poll might have been higher. 'There was a second ruling and I think, if anything, it's left people a bit uncertain about the situation,' Enns said, noting that levels of concern seemed to be higher earlier in the year. 'I think the confidence, it's going to take some time to rebuild that.' The polling industry's professional body, the Canadian Research Insights Council, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population. — With files from David Baxter and Kelly Geraldine Malone This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.
