| As early as 1875 the Halifax Chronicle
saw vast potential in the upstart Merchants' Bank of
Halifax (later renamed The Royal Bank of Canada in 1901)
and publicly noted the bank's impressive ability to
remain "always moving, alive and active."
Willing to test the outer limits of the Canadian banking
consensus, Royal Bank's evolution from a small regional
bank into a national institution is attributed to the
strength of its people and to its bold strategies
tempered by the required caution. The history of Royal
Bank closely parallels the evolution of Canada from
growth to maturity. Whether opening a branch at the
"end of steel" in support of emerging
communities alongside Canada's fledgling national
railway, or aggressively pursuing new e-commerce delivery
channels, Royal Bank has always anticipated and responded
to the needs of Canadians. At Royal Bank we are extremely proud of our history and of the contributions of many generations of Royal bankers who have demonstrated a strong esprit de corps both within the bank and the communities that they served. In the face of dramatic changes and challenges, Royal Bank has maintained the entrepreneurial spirit of its Halifax founders, with dedicated people working as a team to create customer and shareholder value. In the social arena, Royal bankers continue to actively participate in their communities and speak responsibly on issues that impact all Canadians and reflect the industry's concern for providing clients with the best possible services.
