Brim Financial

Brim Financial was founded in 2015 by Rasha Katabi, its CEO, and operates a platform that lets banks, retailers and fintechs issue and run credit-card programs without building the infrastructure themselves — while also running Brim's own consumer credit cards as a proof of the stack. Katabi appeared alongside Christian Lassonde of Impression Ventures at TechTO's Founders & Funding session in June 2021, a 40-minute conversation pairing a founder with an investor. The company closed an all-equity, all-primary US$85-million Series C in March 2024, led by Export Development Canada with Vistara Growth joining and existing backers White Owl Group, Epic Ventures and Zions Bank following on. The round was earmarked for the United States, where Brim has been building out partnerships including one with Mastercard on open-banking features. Brim has appeared on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 list of the fastest-growing technology companies in North America.
