At Momentum Financial Services Group, we help people move forward by reimagining how money works for those who need it most. With more than 40 years of experience, we’re the team behind Money Mart—Canada’s largest non-bank branch network—and a leader in financial solutions for underserved communities.

From short-term loans to money transfers and prepaid cards, we power the products, technology, and operations that connect over a million customers a year to the money they need, when they need it.

At MFSG, we come together across teams and departments to create something bigger than ourselves: solutions that remove barriers and give people access to money they might not get anywhere else. Whether you're solving problems, building systems, or shaping strategy, your work fuels real support for real people.
