The CanCap Group (“CanCap”) is a privately-owned Canadian national financial services company with multiple verticals across automotive, consumer, and merchant lending portfolios. We manage the entire lifecycle of the finance receivable — from credit adjudication through to contract administration, customer service, default management, and post charge-off recoveries.

We are a company of innovators. We learn from each other, respect each other, and create together. We strive to inspire our customers by continually understanding them, meeting their needs, and keeping them happily surprised. And we always do so with integrity.

When it comes to our customers, partners, and each other, we are always motivated by doing the “right thing.” We’re always looking to find the best people and the right methods that allow us to meet this goal — and we look to the future for growth.
