Reshaping Financial Industries Across the Americas with Matt Midson
Global
As technology becomes more advanced, financial institutions around the globe are searching for digitally-adept business partners who can help them maintain a competitive edge and high customer retention. One such business is CPQi, a Canadian-based FinTech offering financial technology services and solutions to financial institutions across the Americas and Europe. From digital transformation to enabling open banking, CPQi offers a wide range of services to help banks and other institutions achieve optimal results and success in their digital endeavors.
Matt Midson, one of CPQi’s CEOs, recently sat down to answer key questions and illuminate the crucial work CPQi is doing to improve financial industries across the Americas. This article will explore what Midson’s role at the company is and how CPQi as a whole is working to expand its reach and impact.
Midson’s Road to Becoming the CEO of CPQi North America
As CPQi began its efforts to expand further into North and South America, the need for solid leadership in the North American branch became clear.
After working as a managing director and CIO for CPQi, Matt Midson was appointed to the role of CEO of North America in April of 2021. As the North American CEO, Midson is responsible for enabling further innovation and increasing the company’s presence within the North American countries, including the United States and Canada.
“Even before joining the CPQi team, I had leveraged their services many times. Now as a company leader, I can take my passion for and faith in this company to help further our reach and transform North American finance,” states Matt Midson. With more than 28 years of experience working as a senior IT leader, consultant, and business development professional, Midson brings the high level of expertise CPQi needs to not only remain competitive but to uncover the ideal innovative solutions to further its North American expansion.
The Multi-Faceted Services of CPQi
Though there are many FinTech companies and start-ups all over the globe nowadays, CPQi stands out for its wide range of services and solutions.
According to Midson, there are four main types of services offered by CPQi: Core Services: CPQi’s core services include managed services, resource augmentation, digital development, and regulatory change. These core services are designed for the digital management of financial institutions.
Digital Transformation: At CPQi, Midson and the other leaders place heavy emphasis on enabling thorough and successful digital transformation for financial institutions. These services include digital banking, predictive technology (AI), omnichannel banking, DevOps, and cloud services.
Platform Services: Along with implementing digital transformations, CPQi also assists institutions in the installation, development, and management of digital financial platforms. CPQi is partnered with many of the financial industry’s top platforms, including AWS and Moody’s CreditLens, and can also help institutions to integrate their legacy systems.
Open Banking: As the financial industry continues to gain new FinTech companies and partners, enabling open banking at banks and other institutions is crucial. CPQi offers the resources and support financial businesses need to enhance and secure their digital infrastructure for the purpose of open banking.
Differentiating CPQi from Competing FinTechs
One of the biggest differentiators for CPQi that helps them stand apart from competing FinTechs is their intense focus on building an extremely supportive and collaborative business team.
Aside from ensuring each team member is well-versed in both finance and technology, Midson states that CPQi provides each of its teams with opportunities for furthering their professional development and education. This forms an essential foundation of trust and dependability, allowing employees to work at their full potential and express new ideas with confidence.
“Our technology is a critical part of our business at CPQi, that much is true. But it is our staff members that make this company a leader in the FinTech space,” Midson said. “The strong relationships we have fostered between our staff and leaders make the CPQi mission to provide accessible and custom digital transformations to institutions across the Americas possible.”

Criminal Defence Law Firm of the Year - 2022 - Sydney Criminal Lawyers Australia
REASONS TO CHOOSE12
1Proven Track Record of Exceptional Results Sydney Criminal Lawyers® consistently achieves outcomes which are in the highest percentile of the Judicial Commission’s sentencing statistics for criminal cases.
Our legal team devises effective case-strategies and fights hard to have cases dropped entirely or charges downgraded – saving clients the time, expense and stress of a defended hearing or jury trial.
Where cases nevertheless proceed, our lawyers have an outstanding track record of winning defended Local Court hearings, and complex jury trials in the District and Supreme Courts.
We also consistently win appeals in the District and Supreme Courts (including the NSWCCA) after clients have received unsatisfactory results with other law firms in the lower courts.
We are one of the few firms to achieve successful criminal law appeals in the High Court of Australia.
Where our clients wish to plead guilty, we frequently achieve ‘dismissals’ and ‘non convictions’ in cases where other lawyers have advised there is no chance of doing so. 3Australia’s Most Awarded Criminal Law Firm We have received more awards and accolades than any other criminal law firm in Australia.
Our team has been awarded “Criminal Defence Firm of the Year in Australia” in a number of prestigious and competitive awards programs for several years running.
The awards recognise our exceptional track record of results, our outstanding client service, the high level of satisfaction we achieve, the affordability of our services and our overall excellence.
4Fixed Fees We want our clients to know exactly how much their cases will cost from the very start.
That’s why we were the first criminal law firm in Australia to publish ‘fixed fees’, back in 2004.
We offer fixed fees for most types of criminal cases and services.
Our fixed fees apply to a range of Local Court cases such as drink driving, drug possession, fraud, common assault and AVOs, and also specific services such as prison visits, bail applications, appeals and defended hearings.
Unlike many other law firms, our fixed fees are published on our website – which ensures transparency and certainty.
5Free First Appointment For those who are going to court, we offer a free first conference of up to an hour with one of our Senior Criminal Defence Lawyers.
We also offer a free first conference to those who have received an unsatisfactory result after being represented in court by another law firm, or after representing themselves, and wish to appeal.
6Specialist Lawyer Guarantee We guarantee that only lawyers with substantial criminal defence experience will work on your case and appear for you in court.
This ensures our clients receive the highest quality representation from an experienced, specialist criminal lawyer.
7All NSW Courts From Bombala to Broken Hill, our lawyers appear in courts throughout New South Wales – and across Australia for Commonwealth cases.
2Highest Level of Client Satisfaction We have the best and most comprehensive client review record of any law firm in Australia.
Regular communication, accessibility and quality service are our team’s highest priorities.
We are committed to thoroughly explaining all steps involved in the criminal law process, providing regular updates throughout the proceedings, and making ourselves accessible and responsive.
We are passionate about providing an exceptional level of service to our clients, and we fight hard to achieve optimal results in the shortest period of time.
Criminal Defence Law Firm of the Year - 2022 - Sydney Criminal Lawyers Australia
And we offer fixed fees for most criminal and traffic law cases throughout the state.
8Accredited Specialists Our entire firm is exclusively dedicated to criminal law – which makes us true specialists.
All of our lawyers have years of experience representing clients in criminal cases, and our principal has been certified by the Law Society of NSW as an Accredited Criminal Law Specialist since 2005.
An ‘Accredited Specialist’ is a lawyer who has practised for at least 5 years in a particular field of law (such as criminal law), has passed a rigorous assessment process conducted by the Law Society of NSW, and has been selected by the Specialist Accreditation Committee of the Law Society as an expert in the field. Accredited Specialists are required to undertake more training each year than other lawyers and must be successful in having their accreditation renewed every year. Specialist Accreditation is the mark of a true specialist.
Our firm’s specialist experience ensures you receive the best possible result, whatever your criminal law case may be.
9Results-Focused Law Firm Our team is passionate about achieving results, and unlike many other law firms, our lawyers do not have monthly financial ‘budgets’ to meet.
The absence of budgets means our lawyers are entirely focused on achieving optimal results in the shortest space of time; whether by getting charges dropped or downgraded at an early stage or having cases ‘thrown out of court’.
Not having budgets also means our lawyers are not under pressure to engage in unscrupulous practices such as unnecessarily adjourning cases or ‘overcharging’ clients – which, sadly, is a common complaint against many other lawyers and law firms.
No budgets encourages regular consultation between lawyers within the firm – promoting an ‘open door’, team environment where lawyers bounce ideas off one another, formulate case strategy together and benefit from each other’s specialised experience, methods, techniques and insights.
The result is a firm which delivers optimal outcomes in the shortest time periods, at the least expense and stress to our clients.
10 Team of Lawyers Behind You Our clients benefit from the pool of knowledge that only an extensive team of experienced criminal defence lawyers can provide.
Our lawyers regularly consult one another to stay ‘ahead of the pack’ in the ever-changing field of criminal law – constantly devising, refining and implementing specialised techniques which ensure our clients achieve the best possible outcomes.
A team approach is particularly important when it comes to serious criminal cases such as murder, commercial drug cases, serious and sexual assaults, large-scale fraud, robbery and other ‘indictable’ cases.
In such matters, clients reap the benefits of several lawyers devising and executing case strategies which maximise the chances of having cases dropped or downgraded at an early stage, or ‘thrown out of court’ – often saving clients a great deal of cost, time and anxiety.
11Familiar with Magistrates and Judges Each of our lawyers appears in court on a daily basis, and has done so for years.
We have therefore been able to develop an understanding of, and rapport with, magistrates and judges in Sydney and indeed across the state.
Our team’s extensive experience before the courts ensures your case is tailored to the specific nuances of individual judicial officers, maximising the likelihood of a favourable result.
12Convenience We have offices in eight locations across the Sydney metropolitan area and beyond:
• The Sydney CBD, on Castlereagh Street, directly opposite Downing Centre Court, • Liverpool, directly opposite Liverpool Local Court, and • Parramatta, near the justice precinct. We offer free parking at our Sydney CBD and Liverpool locations, and all three of our offices are close to train stations and bus terminals.
For those who are unable to attend our offices, we offer conferences by telephone, Skype and FaceTime anywhere around the world.
