We've Been Here for Canadians Since 1864

Our history starts in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1864, when we were known as the Merchants' Bank. In 1901, as we expanded into the rest of Canada, we changed our name to the Royal Bank of Canada. We opened our first international branch in Havana, Cuba in 1899 and by 1925, had 121 branches in North and South America, London, Paris and Barcelona.

In 2004, we were named Canada's most respected company for the third year in a row — and today, we operate around the world, providing our clients with all the services they need, often in the language of their choice. We've been here for Canadians since 1864.

We're Here for You

We're as multi-cultural as Canada itself. As one of the leading employers in the country, our workforce includes a large number of immigrants, with the result that we can offer service in many different languages. In fact, in some parts of Canada, even our banking machines speak the languages of the large immigrant communities that live there.

We also believe in doing more than just providing financial services. We believe in contributing to your community, too. We sponsor a large number of cultural and amateur sporting events and support many causes.
