Subject to regulatory and government approvals, Royal Bank of Canada is buying HSBC Bank Canada for $13.5-billion in cash in the largest deal ever reached between two domestic banks in the country.

  • Concentration: Acquisition would see RBC consolidate its position as Canada’s largest bank. The purchase price represents a multiple of 9.4 times HSBC Canada’s estimated 2024 earnings.  All six of Canada’s largest banks looked at acquiring HSBC Canada, but the bidding process soon narrowed down to a competition amongst Canada’s largest lenders.
  • RBC expects it would reap about $740-million of pre-tax cost savings annually, and incur acquisition and integration costs of $1-billion. RBC will also purchase HSBC’s preferred shares and subordinated debt for a total of about $2.1-billion.
  • HSBC Canada has $134-billion of assets as of Sep. 30, with about 130 branches and 4,200 full-time staff.
