Canada's prudent banks, combined with effective regulation and supervision, form a model of stability in the global financial system.

Fast facts

During the 2007/08 global financial crisis, unlike banks in many other countries, no Canadian banks were bailed out or in danger of failing.

The 2007/08 crisis resulted in a series of significant regulatory changes for the international banking sector.

The COVID‑19 pandemic of 2020/21 presented a new set of challenges that required governments and regulators to adopt measures to preserve financial stability.

Canadians understand this: When asked to rate the performance of banks in Canada on stability and security, 75 per cent of Canadians provided a favourable rating.

The bottom line

The World Economic Forum has consistently ranked Canada's banks as among the soundest in the world. Canada's prudent banks, combined with effective regulation and supervision, form a model of stability in the global financial system.

Significant regulatory change continues

During the 2007/08 global financial crisis there was significant turmoil in the global financial system and a number of banks in other countries became insolvent and either failed or received taxpayer‑funded bailouts. However, no Canadian bank was in danger of failing or needed a government bailout. Canada's banks were well capitalized, well managed, and well regulated going into the global financial crisis, and remain so to this day.

Canada's banks were well‑capitalized, well‑managed, and well‑regulated going into the global financial crisis, and remain so to this day as we emerge from the COVID‑19 crisis. During the pandemic, Canada's banks played a critical role in supporting the Canadian economy and the financial well‑being of Canadians and demonstrated their ongoing resiliency.

While banks in Canada are extremely unlikely to fail, Canadian banks have developed "recovery and resolution plans" that would help the bank recover from financial distress or bring about an orderly resolution in the event of their failure.

However, the global financial crisis led to a series of significant regulatory changes to international banking rules, which are designed to reduce the risk of another financial crisis occurring. While these rules are developed internationally, it is up to domestic regulators to put them in place and enforce them.

There are many important participants - including Canadian policymakers and regulators - involved in shaping and adapting these regulatory changes for Canada's financial system. [See Table of Main Participants below.]

The most significant changes to global banking rules have been in the areas of capital and liquidity. Both the quantity and quality of capital - which helps banks absorb losses - have been increased. In addition, new liquidity requirements have been put in place to help ensure that banks can meet their financial obligations, even in times of stress.

Financial markets are globally integrated. So in the end, the aim is that consistent implementation of these regulatory changes in countries around the world will result in a better functioning global financial system.

Banks in Canada - through and with the Canadian Bankers Association - are working closely with domestic and global regulatory organizations to implement all of the international regulatory changes.

Regulatory Changes

The most significant changes to global banking rules have occurred in the area of capital and liquidity. These changes are described in greater detail below.
1. Capital
"Capital" is the money that bank owners have invested in the bank, either through the purchase of shares or through retained earnings. A bank holds capital to help protect depositors and other stakeholders against losses in the event that borrowers default. Capital is a cushion against the negative impacts of bank‑specific and market‑related activities that could jeopardize a bank's ability to stay solvent and continue to serve Canadians.
Basel III capital rules
There are several categories of rules related to capital under Basel III. Taken together, these rules now require banks to hold enough capital to equal at least 10.5% of their total risk-weighted assets.
Global and domestic systemically important banks

In 2013, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) named the six largest banks in Canada as "domestic systemically important banks" (D-SIBs). As a result, these six banks are required to hold an additional one per cent of capital as of January 1, 2016 (D‑SIB surcharge), and are also subject to a Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) that ranges from 0 to 2.5 per cent of capital along with more intense supervision and enhanced disclosure requirements.

The Royal Bank of Canada and Toronto‑Dominion Bank were designated by the Financial Stability Board as "global systemically important banks" (G-SIBs) in 2017 and 2019 respectively, but are not subject to any additional capital requirement beyond the existing D-SIB surcharge and DSB.

The G‑SIBs and D‑SIBs are treated the same by OSFI given the potential impacts that a failure of any one of them would have on global and domestic economies.

For small and mid‑sized banks, OSFI is developing proportional reflecting the more limited systemic risk associated with smaller financial institutions.

What is Basel III?

Basel III was developed and agreed to by members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). This is a longstanding committee of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) that is mandated to review and develop banking guidelines and supervisory standards at a global level.

Basel III is a framework that sets out global regulatory rules for bank capital and liquidity. These rules were originally published in December 2010 in response to the global financial crisis and are subject to ongoing review and updates. In December 2017, the BCBS issued some notable updates entitled ' Basel III: Finalising post-crisis reforms '.

The phase-in of Basel III capital rules began in 2013. Canada implemented these changes in January 2013, well ahead of many other countries and well ahead of the Basel III timeline. The phase-in of Basel III's liquidity rules began in 2015. Canada is now on a path towards implementation of the Basel III reforms starting in November 2022.

For more information, go to http://www.bis.org/.

Basel III capital rules as they relate to banks in Canada

The Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline reflects how Canadian regulators are implementing the Basel III capital rules in Canada. In December 2012, OSFI issued a revised CAR Guideline to incorporate earlier Basel III reforms and made further updates in subsequent years. OSFI is now in the process of concluding its consultations on the Basel III reforms and expects to publish an updated CAR Guideline in November 2021. In most cases, the updated rules will be implemented starting in November 2022.

Under the CAR Guideline, OSFI already expects banks to meet target capital levels that equal or exceed the 2019 Basel III minimum capital requirements.

Under a separate Leverage Requirements Guideline,¹ OSFI expects institutions to maintain a leverage ratio that meets or exceeds 3 per cent at all times. OSFI also prescribes authorized leverage ratio requirements for individual institutions.

2. Liquidity
"Liquidity" refers to the ease with which assets can be converted into cash (i.e., liquidated) and sold. For banks, good liquidity is important because it bolsters their resilience to internal and external shocks.
Basel III liquidity rules

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has developed two minimum rules for liquidity - the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) that has a 30-day horizon, and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) that has a time horizon of one year. Both metrics have now been fully implemented in Canada.

The LCR rules are meant to ensure banks have sufficient, high-quality liquid assets to withstand a period of economic stress.

How OSFI is implementing liquidity rules for banks in Canada

OSFI issued a revised Liquidity Principles Guideline B6 made updates for the liquidity metrics (e.g. LCR/NSFR) in the Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline. These guidelines describe how the regulator assesses the strength of a bank's liquidity risk management framework and whether the bank would have adequate liquidity under stressed conditions.

OSFI's approach is consistent with the BCBS's September 2008 Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision.

3. New forms of risk
As we exit the shadow of the financial crisis, banks and regulators around the world, including OSFI, are shifting focus towards new and evolving forms of non-financial risks such as risks related to COVID-19, technological innovation and climate change.

In relation to COVID-19, OSFI announced the unwinding of the special capital treatment of loans subject to payment deferrals at the end of August 2020. This was followed by the unwinding of other regulatory adjustments that were implemented during the pandemic related to market risk capital requirements and the covered bond limit. In June 2021, OSFI also announced that the DSB would be raised from one per cent to 2.5 per cent effective October 31, 2021.

OSFI is evolving its regulatory and supervisory approach as part of its strategic goal to improve banks preparedness for, and resiliency to, non-financial risks. In doing so, OSFI recognizes the importance of banks providing innovative financial services to Canadians while also fostering trust and confidence in the financial sector.

In 2020, as part of its work on non-financial risks OSFI also sought feedback through a discussion paper on a broad range of issues related to technology risk. These issues included cyber security, third-party risk and advanced analytics. OSFI has subsequently signaled next steps with a proposed schedule setting out upcoming guidance initiatives including developing a new technology and cyber risk guideline and a revised draft guideline on third-party risk.

In January 2021, OSFI issued a Discussion Paper on climate-related risks in the financial sector which considered the impacts of such risks and how banks and other federally regulated financial institutions and pension plans could prepare for and build resilience to these risks. OSFI expects to publish a letter in the coming months that will summarize feedback received and describe their future plans in this area.

As part of its work on non-financial risk, OSFI also plans to seek feedback from the industry on the incorporation of the BCBS' principles for operational resilience and the revised principles on operational risk management into domestic guidance.

The all out number of Visa and MasterCard cards available for use in Canada added up to around 70 million out of 2017. Before this I was aware about a few banks of Canada like, Scotia, CIBC, TD, but after getting information from this website I came to know about a huge list of banking facilities in Canada which is too much surprising for me.

Canadian banking is never again the motor driven benefit development at the nation's enormous moneylenders. With monetary monsters of Canada including Royal Bank of Canada and Toronto-Dominion Bank having declared outcomes this week, and opponents to pursue, it's turning out to be evident that organizations, for example, riches the executives and U.S. tasks are accomplishing more to build income than their backbone of household purchaser loaning. Canada's monetary possibilities are conjectured to fall behind those of its southern neighbor. Total national output in Canada is required to develop 1.5 percent for this running year, contrasted and 2.6 percent for the U.S.

Canadian banking is no longer the engine driving profit growth at the country's large lenders.

With Canadian financial giants including Royal Bank of Canada and Toronto-Dominion Bank having announced results this week, and rivals to follow, it's becoming clear that businesses such as wealth management and U.S. operations are doing more to increase earnings than their mainstay of domestic consumer lending.

"Canadian banking has got the blahs," said David Baskin, whose Baskin Wealth Management oversees assets totalling $1.2 billion. "I'm not surprised that the domestic operations are pretty flat. The reason that TD and RBC in particular went south was to find greener fields."

Much of Canada is experiencing a housing slowdown and household debt is at record high, crimping further borrowing. The country also is a mature market for banking, with lenders getting much of their growth by stealing market share from each other. Canada's economic prospects are forecast to lag behind those of its southern neighbour. Gross domestic product in Canada is expected to grow 1.5 per cent this year, compared with 2.6 per cent for the U.S.

That bodes well for Canadian banks with operations abroad - and less so for those relying on domestic businesses to fuel growth. Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Montreal, lenders with significant operations outside the country, report their results next week.

Earnings at Canadian banks' domestic personal and commercial divisions were expected to rise 5.2 per cent on average from a year earlier, less than the 14.3 per cent increase forecast for their U.S. and international consumer-lending units, RBC Capital Markets analyst Darko Mihelic said in a note to clients earlier this month.

At Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, which gets a greater share of profits from domestic consumer banking than its peers, earnings from its personal and small business banking division fell 2.4 per cent to $570 million. CIBC's biggest profit gains, meanwhile, came from U.S. commercial banking and wealth management, with 18 per cent growth. Canadian mortgages declined, home-equity credit lines were little changed and loan-loss provisions rose from a year ago.

At Royal Bank, earnings rose 2.4 per cent in the company's Canadian division, its smallest year-over-year growth in five quarters, and far smaller than the 17 per cent jump in RBC Capital Markets earnings and 8.9 per cent surge in wealth management, which includes earnings from Los Angeles-based City National Bank.

U.S. Branches

Even Toronto-Dominion, with retail-banking operations on both sides of the border, saw a greater boost from the U.S. than from Canada. Earnings from Canadian retail, which includes wealth management, rose just 0.9 per cent, while the bank's U.S. retail division, including the TD Ameritrade discount brokerage, soared 29 per cent. With a network that stretches from Maine to Florida, Toronto-Dominion has more bank branches in the U.S. than in Canada.

Canadian consumer banking still represents the biggest share of profits at the country's financial companies, representing almost half of earnings on average for the big banks.

Scotiabank - Canada's most international bank, with operations in Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia - reports earnings on May 28, and Bank of Montreal, whose non-domestic operations include Chicago-based BMO Harris Bank, follows the next day. Scotiabank analyst Sumit Malhotra has predicted that Toronto-based Bank of Montreal will see its biggest earnings growth from U.S. personal and commercial banking.

As we have without a doubt heard at this point, we live in a period of globalization. This globalization contacts most everybody, including our economy and day by day lives directly here at home. A lot of what empowers this globalization to occur regularly is worldwide or "Global" banking.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Perhaps it was your commute to and from work today. That lunch you ate at the food court at noon. Or the spring break ski vacation to British Columbia that you just booked last night. What do these things have in common? Most likely, they all involved global banking.

As you have undoubtedly heard by now, we live in an era of globalization. This globalization touches most everyone, including our economy and daily lives right here at home. Much of what enables this globalization to happen on a daily basis is international or "global" banking.

Let's take for instance that commute to work. Whether you drove your own vehicle, rode the bus or used UBER, Lift or a traditional taxi, there was a petroleum-powered vehicle involved. Even if you biked or walked to work, your rubber tires or the electronics in the stop/walk signal probably came from a foreign manufacturer. In all of these cases, there were goods (i.e. petroleum, rubber, electronics) that needed to be imported into the United States from a different country. As is often the case with imported commodities like petroleum and rubber, or high-tech electronics, they are typically sold using a payment instrument called a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit, often referred to as an L/C, is a bank letter guaranteeing that the buyer will pay the seller a specific amount of money on a specific date. Should the buyer not make payment, the bank will be required to pay the amount owed to the seller. Global banking departments issue, confirm, negotiate, and/or advise Letters of Credit on a daily basis, allowing for goods and services to be securely traded all over the world, every day.

Now think about that lunch today at the food court. Suppose you had a delicious BLT. Most likely, the lettuce and tomato made their way from industrial farms in Mexico. The produce had to be bought by a wholesaler or distributor here in the United States, paying the Mexican supplier in their local currency, the Mexican Peso. Global banking makes this transaction possible by converting the buyer's U. S. Dollars into Mexican Pesos, then sending those Pesos to the seller's bank in Mexico by means of an electronic wire transfer.

Finally, let's go skiing! But wait...British Columbia is in Canada and Canada uses the Canadian Dollar, not the U.S. Dollar. No problem. Global banking can convert a desired amount of your U.S. Dollars to Canadian Dollars on the foreign exchange currency market so that you have the correct cash in hand during your travel abroad.

In a nutshell, global banking makes it possible for the world economy to function, by being the instrument for transferring money across national borders.
