We know Canada is a country with many advantages: a strong workforce, rich resources, and one of the most stable financial systems in the world. But to turn these strengths into economic growth, businesses need the right tools and support to stay competitive in a rapidly changing world.
Banks play a critical role in making that happen. By providing businesses with the capital they need to grow—whether it’s a local shop expanding or a startup scaling its vision—banks help turn ambition into real opportunities. Strong businesses create good jobs, and good jobs build a stronger economy.
Every major bank has dedicated teams to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) navigate challenges, embrace innovation, and remain resilient in the face of economic uncertainty. This ongoing support ensures businesses can grow, hire, and strengthen their communities.
Canadian banks are the largest supplier of credit to Canadian small and medium-sized businesses, with authorized credit of nearly $300 billion, and loan approval rates of 91 per cent. Banks are helping entrepreneurs succeed, but more can be done to unlock opportunity. Here’s a short summary outlining how we can make that a reality.
Banks invest in cutting-edge cybersecurity, protect against fraud, and provide tools that help Canadians stay in control of their finances. Whether it's secure banking features, fraud alerts, or identity protection, banks work every day to give Canadians peace of mind with every transaction.
This also includes collaborating with law enforcement, government agencies, and payment partners to educate the public on fraud prevention, with substantial investments in cybersecurity aimed at protecting the financial system and personal customer information.

Understanding how to manage finances effectively is an important life skill, and banks play a key role in providing the knowledge and tools needed to achieve financial well-being.
