About Savvii Group

Savvii Group Inc. is an Ontario-based financial technology firm founded in 2021 by Marcius Bansavatar, a veteran of the Canadian financial industry. Bansavatar's background includes co-founding Brim Financial and holding positions at several of Canada's major banks, such as a senior project manager of online banking at CIBC, providing him with deep insights into the sector's landscape.

The company is positioned within the competitive Canadian consumer card and financial health market, aiming to serve a broad range of Canadian consumers in the digital age. Savvii's business model centers on what it terms "connected finance," a holistic approach that rejects the one-size-fits-all model of traditional banking. The core of its offering is a proposed smart card, intended to integrate various aspects of a user's financial life, including banking, budgeting, shopping, and travel. The platform plans to utilize AI-powered advice and customizable tools to help members manage savings, monitor financial progress, and engage in smarter spending habits. The service is designed to provide users with greater control over their finances, along with customized rewards and savings opportunities.

In April 2022, Savvii Group announced it had secured $10 million in a seed funding round from an undisclosed financial investment firm. This capital was intended to accelerate the development of its technology infrastructure, expand its team, and build out its partner network ahead of a planned beta launch in the latter half of 2022. However, some data sources now indicate the company may be defunct.
