Revenue comes from subscription fees and from the interest earned on clients’ cash balances. Float differentiates itself by offering 4% interest on cash balances in both CAD and USD, a strong customer-support promise, and tools designed to give businesses tighter control over spending and cash flow compared with traditional banks. The company’s goal is to automate and simplify business spending while giving teams more visibility and control over their finances, across Canadian and cross-border use.
