Banks & Banking
What do they do? Why do we go there? How do they
help the people?
What comes to mind when you think about a Bank?
Bank Definition
Our big banks are called commercial/retail banks.
A financial institution licensed as a receiver of deposits. Their primary function is to handle money. Banks manage withdrawals and deposits as well as supplying loans
Bank Definition
In Canada banks must be given a charter or license to operate by Federal parliament.
In most countries, banks are regulated by the national government or central bank.The government oversees (controls) and protects the wealth of a nation.
Bank Definition
This is very safe, never a failure in Canada's history. In contrast with US where thousands of banks, lots of failures
Canadian Banks use a branch banking systemCanada allows only a few banks with each having many offices
Bank Definition
And unless necessary, few mergers too
Our government watches all bank activity, especially: bank reorganizations (mergers) and foreign banks
Since confederation, no foreign banks have been allowed in Canada (fear of US domination)
The BIG 6 Canadian Banks
6. HongKong Shanghai Banking Corporation
1. Royal Bank2. Bank of Montreal3. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce4. Toronto Dominion5. Bank of Nova Scotia
RBC, The Royal Bank
Originally founded as Royal Bank of Halifax in 1795, sold to Montreal business people in 1826 and name was changed to Royal Bank of Canada
Royal Bank, Canada's biggest bank 1500 branches, profits around $10-12 Billion annually,
BMO, The Bank of Montreal
BMO uses the "First Bank" theme extensively
Bank of Montreal, 4th biggest bank in Canada, claims to be Canada's oldest, founded in 1821
CIBC, The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
CIBC 2nd largest bank, result of 1950's merger between Imperial Bank of Canada, and Canadian Bank of Commerce
TD, The Toronto Dominion
In 1990 TD purchased the Calgary/Vancouver based Canada Trust (which had long hours, as opposed to the old banking hours of 10:00am-3:00pm. TD keeps the Canada Trust name, because it is favourably associated with long hours.
TD, 3rd biggest bank. The result of 1950's merger of Bank of Toronto and Dominion Bank of Canada.
The Bank of Nova Scotia
It is the largest bank in many Caribbean countries and has a large presence in South America
Bank of Nova Scotia, 5th biggest bank, quite a bit smaller than the previous 4, but very profitable
Scotia Bank plays with high risk foreign exchanges and gold speculation
HSBC, Hong-Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation
The gov't of Canada reluctantly agreed for it to be sold to Hong Kong investors who were pouring into Vancouver ahead of 1997 (the year Hong Kong went back to China). So Canada got a partially foreign bank. HKBC, Hong Kong Bank of Canada
HSBC in 1970's started off as the
Bank of British Columbia In 1986, the bank was in danger of failing due to large outstanding loans
HSBC, Hong-Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation
So we now have a completely foreign-owned bank in Canada, even though it is specifically disallowed by federal rules. But it has not been a problem, so the government has turned a blind eye to it
In 1999, this bank was bought out by the international banking giant HSBC, Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation
