Chief Operating Officer
General Bank of Canada

The RDBA has in place a set of professional standards to help ensure that we can demonstrate compliance with all of the regulatory requirements of operating in the deposit-taking world. The fact that so many Financial Institutions can work together with independent Deposit Brokers demonstrates a level of collaboration and cooperation that does not exist anywhere else in the Canadian financial services space.

The RDBA remains an integral part of General Bank’s deposit gathering strategy, as we move forward with emerging trends in the industry.
