The story

MemberNova is an association management platform (AMS) built by the team behind ClubRunner (Infotech Business Centre Inc.) in Oakville, Ontario. Its embedded finance surface is limited to membership dues collection, event registration payments, and e-commerce — sold as the 'Dues and eCommerce' and 'Online Payment & eCommerce' add-on modules. The company sits firmly in vertical SaaS for associations rather than fintech, and there is no evidence of BaaS, lending, or card-issuing programs on the MemberNova brand.
