A client-first approach earns Canada's leading private banking honour

TORONTO, June 25, 2026 /CNW/ - RBC Wealth Management, has received the title of Best Private Bank – Canada 2026 by the World Finance Banking Awards. This award offers recognition to RBC Private Banking, a division of RBC Wealth Management, for its leadership, innovation and ability to thrive under pressure, setting benchmarks for responsible growth and reimagining the future of global banking.

A client-centered model built to grow
Serving business owners, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families and corporate executives, RBC Private Banking clients bring complex banking, wealth planning and credit needs that require a blend of innovation, convenience and personalized care.

RBC Private Banking continues to deliver on that mandate by bringing the full strength and breadth of RBC to its clients — drawing on deep local expertise and global capabilities to deliver a differentiated experience at every stage of the wealth journey, whether that's sophisticated lending, estate planning or navigating a major life transition.

"Private banking remains a deeply personal business," said Kim Mason, Executive Vice President and Head, Canadian Private Banking. "Technology and scale are important, but what continues to matter most is the quality of advice, relationships and long-term planning we provide to clients and families. It's an approach that doesn't just retain clients; it earns their trust across generations."
