  • The Canadian Banking System, 1890-1966
    JACK CARR FRANK MATHEWSON NEIL QUIGLEY Stabilityin the Absenceof DepositInsurance: The CanadianBanking System, 1890 1966 THESTABILITY OF THE CANADIAN BANKING SYSTEM in the period before the introductionof formaldeposit insurancein 1967, and in particular, the Canadianbanks' immunityfrom the crisis that afflictedthe U.S. bankingsystem in the GreatDepression, are well known. Between 1890 and 1966, only twelve Ca- nadian charteredbanks failed; six of these failures resulted in losses to the deposi- tors. No bank failures occurredafter the suspensionof the Home Bank of Canadain 1923. Explanationsfor the relative stability of Canadianbanking have focused on the structureof the system, particularlythe economies of scale and portfolio diver- sification achieved by the large branch banks in Canada (Friedmanand Schwartz 1963; Haubrich1990) and the creationof a governmentrediscount facility in 1914. Some (Bordo 1986; Shearer, Chant, and Bond 1984; White 1983) suggestthat the Canadianfederal authoritiesand the CanadianBankers Association (CBA) implic- itly guaranteedbank deposits by arrangingmergers. Most recently, Kryzanowski and Roberts (1993, p. 362) claim that all of the major Canadianbanks were insol- vent during the 1930s, and explain the absence of a banking crisis by the fact that the Canadiangovernment provided "an implicit one hundredpercent guaranteeof bank deposits." The authorsthank the staff of The Bank of Nova Scotia Archives, The CanadianBankers Association Library,and the NationalArchives of Canadafor their assistance in compiling our data. Michael Bordo, John Chant, Ian Drummond,Ron Shearer,anonymous referees, and participantsat the l9th Conference on the Use of QuantitativeMethods in CanadianEconomic Historyprovided helpful comments. Funding for this research was provided by the Institutefor Policy Analysis at the University of Torontoand the University of Westem Ontarioas partof a largerproject on deposit insurancein Canada(CalT, Mathew- son, and Quigley 1994a).

  • BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction
    BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction In January 1998, the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank of Canada announced plans to merge and create one superbank. A few months later, in April, the Toronto Dominion Bank and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce announced similar plans. The proposed bank mergers caught many people off guard, including Minister of Finance Paul Martin. In a Macleans interview, Martin said, "Just because they decided to get into bed together doesnt mean that I have to bless their union." Martins message seemed to be that Ottawa, not the banks, would decide the future of banking in Canada. "There will be no mergers in the banking sector until we are convinced that [it] is what is best for Canadians, and we will not be stampeded into making that decision." According to the banks, the proposed mergers were a natural response to a changing and highly competitive global marketplace. Mergers, they said, provide a way of maintaining a strong Canadian presence in the banking industry. Certainly, recent technological advances have dramatically changed the manner in which the financial services industry conduct their business, and the above- mentioned banks feel, therefore, that they need to be bigger to compete and to have a substantial presence in the global banking community. Martin himself acknowledged the changed nature of banking when he said, "If you look back at banking five years ago, you might as well look back two centuries." While the proposed bank mergers brought attention to the challenges facing Canadas banks, these challenges are not peculiar to the banks alone.

  • The Next Step in Small and Medium Enterprise Lending
    THE NEXT STEP IN SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISE LENDING David Alexander Stroud B. Com., University of British Columbia, 1997 A PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION In the Faculty of Business Administration EMBA Program O David Alexander Stroud 2004 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY August 2004 All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without permission of the author. ABSTRACT This project examines the business lending industry in Canada and the strategic direction of the small and medium enterprise (SME) lending business of the Toronto- Dominion Bank Financial Group (TDBFG). TDBFG is one of the largest schedule I banks in Canada, however its market share of the SME lending market is substantially less than its market share in other business segments. This paper will assess the current environment in which the Bank operates and identify key success factors in the SME financing business. It will then present TDBFG's optimal strategy going forward as well as an alternative strategy. An evaluation of TDBFG's current internal capabilities will determine whether the Bank is capable of executing the optimal strategy or should instead undertake alternative strategy. Presently the SME customer category is served by both the small business banking arm of the TD Canada Trust and the TD Commerial bank and as a result any recommended solutions will focus on these two business units.
