Yoo Financial and Episode Six partner for new Canadian credit cards

New credit card options designed to meet growing market demand for personalization

The Canadian credit card market continues to expand. The market is expected to grow from $605.03 billion in 2025 to $784.77 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 5.34%; consumer expectations are evolving rapidly. As such, Canadians are increasingly demanding financial products that deliver both personalized value and seamless experience in their everyday lives.

The new partnership with E6 allows Yoo Financial to break free from the limitations of legacy technology that has traditionally held back credit card offerings in the past. With E6’s flexible TRITIUM platform, Yoo Financial can now develop credit cards that align with customers’ individual lifestyles and preferences rather than forcing customers to adapt to standardized, one-size-fits-all products.

“We are excited to partner with Yoo Financial, powering their roadmap of innovative credit products tailored to their customers’ unique needs,” John Mitchell, CEO and co-founder of E6 said in a statement. “Our goal is to give financial institutions, financial technology companies and other brands the ability to build highly differentiated, next-generation payment products. With Yoo Financial, we are thrilled to do this, and to deepen our presence in Canada.”

“We are committed to offering infinite choice and a seamless experience, tailored to ‘yoo’ (pronounced ‘you’),” Blair Cameron, Founder and President of Yoo Financial and CEO of OTT Pay, said in a statement. “Personalization is no longer optional; with E6 and Mastercard as our partners, we will continue to innovate and deliver on our promise of choice and value.”

OTT Pay’s growing financial ecosystem

Founded in 2023, Yoo Financial is a wholly owned subsidiary of OTT Pay Inc., a global fintech payment processor that has established itself as a trusted partner for Canadian merchants. OTT Pay has developed a reputation for creating tailored payment solutions, particularly for Chinese consumers in Canada.

With this new partnership, OTT Pay continues to expand its financial services ecosystem in Canada, building on its existing payment processing solutions that include in-store terminals, point-of-sale integrations, online plug-ins and APIs.

Market impact and future outlook

This partnership comes at a critical time in the Canadian credit card landscape. With nearly 90% of adult Canadians possessing at least one credit card and credit cards remaining the country’s most used payment method, there is significant potential for innovative offerings that better meet individual needs.

Industry analysts suggest this move could disrupt traditional credit card providers by offering more flexible, customer-centric products. As financial institutions increasingly compete on personalization rather than just rewards and interest rates, partnerships like this one between established financial institutions and agile fintech providers may become the new normal.

Yoo Financial and Episode Six have not yet announced specific launch dates for their new credit card products, but they have indicated that announcements about the new offerings will be coming soon.
