RBC creates unified 'Global Transaction Banking' division to enhance cross-border customer service
The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has announced the formation of a new business unit called Global Transaction Banking (GTB), consolidating transaction banking expertise across its Commercial and Capital Markets divisions. The move aims to strengthen RBC's position as a global bank by offering seamless cross-border services, leveraging digital platforms like 'RBC Clear' in the U.S. and 'RBC Edge' in Canada. The new division will be co-led by Sean Amato-Gauci and Derek Neldner, with Kartik Kaushik overseeing products and Michael Klopchic managing customer service functions. GTB combines strengths from RBC's Canadian and U.S. commercial banking operations as well as capital markets expertise to deliver enhanced value through integrated product offerings and digital innovation. RBC emphasized that the restructuring will not impact its financial reporting, with results continuing to be reported within existing segments. The initiative is expected to drive growth by expanding deposit generation capabilities globally.
