About Embark
Embark is Canada's resource for education savings and planning. Our mission is to make saving for post-secondary education accessible to every parent in Canada—so students can pursue their goals with less debt and more opportunity.
We specialize in Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs), helping families open and manage plans, take advantage of government grants, track investments, and even receive contributions from friends and family through gifting features. Our digital-first platform is designed to make education savings simple and approachable.
Owned by a not-for-profit foundation, we measure success by the success of students and families—not by shareholder returns. Earnings are reinvested to improve products and support the mission. Leadership is guided by President & CEO Andrew Lo.
Embark carries forward more than half a century of experience in the Canadian RESP market (our roots go back to 1965). Today we operate as a modern fintech-enabled education savings company under the Embark brand at embark.ca.
