On January 2015, the Bank of Canada cut the prime rate by 0.25%. But the BIG SIX BANKS didn’t cut the Prime rate as they normally do. Instead, they waited a week… tried to justify why they couldn’t cut the rate… and finally caved in and cut it.. but ONLY by 0.15%.
That’s right, they pocketed the remaining 0.10%. And in case you haven’t heard, the BIG SIX BANKS have been posting record profits, year after year after year after year after year. In 2016, the 5 most profitable corporations were:
- RBC
- TD
- SCOTIABANK
- BMO
- CIBC
