History and founding of Royal Bank of Canada
Royal Bank of Canada was founded in 1864 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with the goal of supporting maritime trade and Canada’s economic development.
In its early years, the bank faced challenges related to expanding its customer base and diversifying its financial offerings.
In the early 1900s, RBC began its national and international expansion, opening branches across Canadian cities and entering the U.S. and Caribbean markets. During World War I, the bank played a significant role in financing the Canadian government’s war efforts.
RBC continued to grow throughout the 20th century, expanding into Europe and Asia during the 1970s, diversifying its product portfolio, and strengthening its global presence. In 1995, the acquisition of Dominion Securities enhanced its investment banking capabilities.
Between 2020 and 2024, RBC focused on digital innovation, investing in artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies to improve financial services.
Additionally, the bank expanded its sustainability initiatives by developing financial products aligned with ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals.
Today, under the leadership of CEO Dave McKay, Royal Bank of Canada stands as one of the world’s largest financial institutions, offering comprehensive solutions to both individual and corporate clients.
