About
Many Canadians find the world of cryptocurrency complex and inaccessible, and they worry about the security of their digital assets and the stability of traditional financial systems. Our customers face the challenge of navigating an evolving financial landscape, seeking ways to protect and grow their wealth in a system that often feels stacked against them. They are looking for a trustworthy, straightforward way to engage with Bitcoin, an asset they see as a store of value and a path to financial sovereignty. The current fiat monetary system often encourages spending and borrowing, rather than saving for the long term. This is why Shakepay is dedicated to ushering in the Bitcoin golden age, providing a simple, secure, and reliable platform for Canadians to buy, sell, and earn Bitcoin. We believe Bitcoin offers a return to a true savings model, where its limited supply allows individuals to build and preserve wealth for the future. Shakepay empowers over a million Canadians by providing them with the tools to achieve financial freedom. Our platform is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for anyone, from students to retirees, to interact with Bitcoin. We are committed to demystifying cryptocurrency and making it accessible to all Canadians, helping them to take control of their financial future. We understand that trust is paramount, which is why we are a registered Money Service Business (MSB) with FINTRAC and an Investment Dealer regulated by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO). This commitment to regulation and security means our customers can confidently use our services. We are constantly innovating, expanding our services to include everyday payment solutions like direct deposits, bill payments, and e-Transfers, all while maintaining our focus on Bitcoin. Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the world of Bitcoin, offering products that meet the everyday needs of Canadians while helping them build a more secure financial future.
