Central 1 News you need to know


Momentum 2018
General registration is open for Momentum, October 28 to 30 at the beautiful Parq Vancouver!   

With cannabis legalization a reality in Canada as of tomorrow, financial institutions need to be prepared for the growth of business interest in financing operations, mergers, and acquisitions of Canadian cannabis companies.

Join Central 1 at Momentum, to hear from regulatory compliance expert Jacqueline Shinfield, who'll be speaking with attendees about navigating through the legal landscape regarding the cultivation and sale of cannabis in Canada, including considerations for lending, account opening and anti-money laundering controls.

With particular expertise in the payment and card industry, in her legal practice, Jacqueline provides advice to those involved in all aspects of these industries, including credit card, stored value card and virtual card issuers, issuers and exchangers of digital currency, e-wallet providers, payment solution providers, program managers, payment processors, payment acquirers, payment networks and others involved in payment systems generally. She also provides a wide range of advice on regulatory issues with respect to the development of new payment products and distribution networks and on regulatory compliance with respect to payment systems legislation and consumer protection legislation.
