Toronto-based FinTech firm Brim Financial has appointed Abraham Tachjian, the former head of Canada’s open banking initiative, as its Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation and regulatory leadership in the evolving financial services landscape.
Tachjian brings deep expertise from his previous roles, including director at PwC Canada and his most recent mandate leading open banking strategy for the federal government. His long-standing engagement with Brim predates his public sector role, having collaborated with the company across working groups, industry panels, and strategic dialogues.
“I’ve officially come on board at Brim,” Tachjian confirmed, praising the company’s “bold vision, cutting-edge technology, and commitment to reshaping banking.” He expressed enthusiasm about working with CEO Rasha Katabi and Brim’s team of innovators, calling the company a platform with “global potential.”
Founded in 2017, Brim Financial is a next-gen credit card and payments infrastructure platform. In 2024, Brim raised an $85 million Series C round led by EDC Investments and White Owl Group to support its U.S. expansion and open banking integration.
CEO Katabi has emphasized Brim’s mission to automate and modernize credit infrastructure. With Tachjian’s appointment, the firm strengthens its regulatory positioning as it scales internationally.
