Financial Services Challenge Cup

PRESENTED BY: SCOTIABANK

Every cent matters and the books must balance. On the water every fraction of a second counts and a well balanced boat will add up as the winning team. Take your mastery of numbers and test them on the water in our Financial Services Challenge Cup. Calculate the number of strokes it takes to be the first across the finish line and proudly display the trophy in your office!
