ourkid8 Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/competition-bureau-approves-rbcs-proposed-132741172.html The bureau said Friday that its review found the deal won't likely significantly lessen competition, even though it means Canada's largest bank is poised to take over the seventh largest by assets. It’s pretty funny when the largest bank is buying the 7th largest competitor and that won’t significantly lessen competition This is a massive acquisition for the bank and will continue to strengthen its #1 position in the Canadian market.
Xerxes Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 I am very happy about this. if IIRC this will allow current RBC Direct Investing to be able to buy global securities (in foreign denominated currencies) and vis versa allow HSBC Canada clientele to benefit from RBC distribution and network.
50centdollars Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Canada's Competition Bureau is a joke. I don't understand the point of them. They approve everything.

Expand Amazing ! had a call with RBC, the global trading platform will be available for Canadians starting Dec this year. But with the caveat that there would be real time FX conversion at the time of purchase of disposal. And that dividends will be in CAD/USD no more pink sheets.

Expand With the spreads they charge on currency exchange it might still be cheaper to buy pink sheets if there's any volume at all.
