About usSide-by-side comparison
Factual, current as of January 2026. Honest where they outperform; clear where we do.
RBC is Canada's largest bank with a strong branch network and bundled-product story — but their mortgage is one product, theirs. A broker shops RBC alongside 100+ other lenders. When RBC is best for your file we place it there; when another lender wins, we save you money RBC's salaried specialist can't access.
Anytime you want the actual best rate and structure for your file across the full Canadian lender market — not just one bank's product. Especially if you're self-employed, newcomer, or your file is anything other than a textbook A-lender purchase.
If you hold significant other assets at RBC (investments, business banking) and the bundled-relationship discount materially improves your overall position, or if you specifically value the in-branch relationship model.
