Canada’s fintech and cybersecurity sectors continue to gain global recognition, and organizations like the Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI) play an important role in amplifying the companies shaping the country’s technology future. CCI represents many of Canada’s fastest-growing technology firms, advocating for policies and initiatives that strengthen innovation, economic growth and global competitiveness.
INETCO’s inclusion in CCI’s national network reflects the growing importance of real-time transaction intelligence and AI-driven payment fraud prevention in today’s digital economy. As financial institutions and payment providers face increasingly sophisticated fraud threats and rising demands for resilience, the need for trusted, real-time payment protection has never been greater.
We’re proud to share the following announcement from the Council of Canadian Innovators.

The Council of Canadian Innovators is pleased to welcome INETCO and CEO and Founder Bijan Sanii to our national network of high-growth technology companies.
INETCO is a Vancouver-based global leader in real-time transaction monitoring and AI-driven payment fraud prevention. The company works with financial institutions, payment providers, and fintechs in more than 30 countries to secure unparallelled confidence in every transaction, helping them detect fraud before losses occur, stop payment fraud and cyber-attacks in milliseconds, and surface behavioural insights from every customer transaction to strengthen security and performance.
Founded with a clear mission to deliver the payment security and reliability that all people deserve, INETCO has built a reputation as a trusted partner in some of the world’s most demanding payments environments. With a growing footprint across the Middle East, Africa, and Central and Latin America, INETCO is scaling its global reach while remaining rooted in British Columbia’s technology ecosystem.
Bijan Sanii is the CEO and Founder of INETCO, bringing more than 30 years of experience as a technology industry executive and a long record of leadership within British Columbia’s tech community. He has also been actively involved in community-building, mentorship, and philanthropy through long-standing board and civic leadership.
“Real-time payments only work if trust keeps pace with speed,” said CCI Chief Executive Officer Patrick Searle. “INETCO is proving that Canadian companies can lead in fraud prevention and transaction monitoring at global scale, and that capability will be essential as Canada modernizes its own payments infrastructure.”
Since 2015, the Council of Canadian Innovators has been dedicated to supporting Canada’s high-growth technology companies, working with government leaders to co-develop strategies that unlock the country’s innovation potential.
