Provides personal and commercial banking, wealth management and private banking, corporate and investment banking, and capital-markets services across Canada and international markets. Its reportable businesses are Canadian Banking, International Banking, Global Wealth Management, and Global Banking and Markets.
Builds client relationships through a Canadian branch-bank franchise and an international network rooted in the Caribbean and Latin America. Management is directing incremental capital toward a Canada–United States–Mexico corridor while simplifying Canadian operations and regionalizing the wider international footprint.
Execution depends on connecting business lines, deepening primary client relationships, and operating within overlapping prudential and conduct regimes. Capital, leverage, liquidity, deposit-insurance, consumer-protection, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, broker-dealer, swaps, and market-recordkeeping requirements shape the balance sheet and cross-border operations.
