About

RBC launched RBCx on 15 June 2021 as a single front door for technology companies, folding its technology banking unit together with its venture arm so that a founder could get banking, debt capital and advisory support in one relationship. The Globe and Mail described the move as the bank pushing further into a booming Canadian tech sector; the pitch wraps core banking products in partner discounts on cloud and accounting, tailored personal banking for founders, and sector specialists in areas such as cleantech and life sciences. It has since added a venture debt product, arriving as competition for that capital intensified in Canada. Three published profiles in this directory work there — Jeanette Jackson on cleantech, Laith Shukri on early-stage banking, and Matt Roberts on venture capital coverage.
