Background Note Contd...

RBC opened offices in the UK in 1979 and in West Germany, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas in 1980. As Canada's banking rules relaxed, RBC bought Dominion Securities in 1987. The US Federal Reserve approved RBC's brokerage arm for participation in stock underwriting in 1991.

In 1992, RBC faced a $650 million loss after backing the Reichmann family's Olympia & York property development company, which failed under the weight of its UK projects. The next year RBC bought Royal Trustco, Canada's #2 trust company, and Voyageur Travel Insurance, its largest retail travel insurer.

RBC and Bank of Montreal agreed to merge in 1998, but Canadian regulators, fearing the concentration of banking power seen in the US, rejected the merger. In response, the bank slashed its workforce and implemented a sale-leaseback of its property portfolio (1999).

In the late 1990s, RBC grew its online presence by purchasing the Internet banking operations of Security First Network Bank; the online trading division of Bull & Bear Group (1999); and a 20% stake in AOL Canada (1999). It bought several trust and fiduciary services businesses from Ernst & Young.

In 2000, RBC bought US mortgager Prism Financial and the Canadian retail credit card business of BANK ONE. RBC also sold its commercial credit portfolio to U.S. Bancorp and bought the insurance subsidiaries of South Carolina-based Liberty Corporation to boost its US operations...
