Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds is investing in a Canadian-based fintech company, Nuvei Corporation – based in Montreal.
Reynolds, who is already an internationally recognized entrepreneur with ownership in companies like Aviation Gin, Mint Mobile, and is the co-owner of Wrexham AFC, made the announcement Monday.
“I know about as much about fintech as I did about gin or mobile a few years ago. But Nuvei is impressive. The leadership team is exceedingly intelligent and hard-working, and it’s about time a Canadian company got the type of attention American tech companies do,” said Reynolds in a statement.
Canadians are terrible at self-promotion. But not all Canadians.
