Float is a finance platform for Canadian businesses that brings together corporate cards, expense management, bill payments, business accounts, and currency exchange. It offers physical and virtual CAD and USD cards with individual controls. For expenses, Float collects receipts, codes transactions automatically, and syncs spending to accounting software. The platform also advertises domestic and international vendor payments and CAD/USD conversion. Listed integrations include QuickBooks Online, Xero, and NetSuite, as well as HRIS tools and Slack for requests and approvals; NetSuite requires extra manual setup. Float says it is SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI-DSS compliant and uses TLS 1.2 or higher encryption for sensitive data. The company says customer funds are kept in segregated trust accounts and eligible deposits may have CDIC insurance subject to limits; it also states that it is not a bank. Essentials is free and includes up to 20 physical and unlimited virtual cards. Professional costs 10.00 CAD per month, billed at $10 per user monthly, with active-user pricing starting at $100 per month and the first 10 users included. The plan has a 90-day free trial.
