Royal Bank of Canada

The Royal Bank of Canada was founded in 1864 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and is known as the largest banking facility in Canada. It was originally called the Merchants Bank, which began as a means of growing their timber, fishing and trade activities with the East Coast of North America and Europe. It did not take long for expansion to develop trade between Halifax and the Caribbean. Relocating to Montreal in 1907, the name was then changed to the Royal Bank of Canada and has made many transitions over the years to become the landmark it is today.
