About CanadianBankNews
Helping Canadians make sense of mortgages, rates, and banking news.
The idea for CanadianBankNews began in 2020 with a simple question: why is it so hard for Canadians to follow bank news, compare mortgage rates, and understand what those changes mean for a real home-buying decision? Over the years, that idea evolved from a news concept into a practical platform that combines plain-language summaries, current rates, mortgage scenarios, and an AI Mortgage Advisor.

About the Founder
Srikanth Potukuchi
Founder
Building CanadianBankNews to make mortgage research feel clearer, faster, and less scattered.
Srikanth first had the idea for CanadianBankNews in 2020, when it was clear that Canadians needed a simpler way to follow bank news and understand how mortgage changes could affect everyday decisions. Over time, the idea grew through several design and architecture changes into the platform it is today: a place to read what changed, compare rates, ask plain-language mortgage questions, and prepare for the next conversation with a lender, broker, or advisor.
During its initial stage, CanadianBankNews is being developed by its founder. Srikanth brings over 12 years of AI and data science experience in financial services, plus two granted U.S. patents in applied machine learning. As the platform grows, the goal is to expand both the product and the team.
