Who is The RBC (The Royal Bank of Canada)?

The Royal Bank of Canada (Banque Royale du Canada in French) (TSX: RY, NYSE: RY) is Canada's largest company.[1] It has over 1,400 branches across Canada, over 70,000 full-and part-time employees worldwide, and offices in over 34 countries.

Its master brand is RBC and that name is used on all its business units. In Canada, the bank is branded as RBC Royal Bank, a combination of its new master brand and its traditional Canadian brand. Examples include investment banking division RBC Capital Markets, full service investment brokerage firm RBC Dominion Securities, and online investment site RBC Direct Investing. RBC also has a large retail banking presence in the southeastern United States, marketing itself there as RBC Centura which will be called RBC Royal Bank (USA).

RBC is incorporated in Montreal in its formal headquarters at Place Ville Marie but since the late 1970s, all the decisions are made out of Toronto at the Royal Bank Plaza. RBC ranks number 77 on the Forbes Global 2000 list (2007 edition). Its market cap fluctuates at around CAD$ 63.7 billion as of October 31, 2006.

Currently, RBC is the largest financial institution/biggest bank in Canada in both assets and market capitalization.The number of RBC clients are over 15 million.

Royal Bank is huge in Canada, if they start advertising RBC.mobi it will put the extension everywhere.

Good news for .mobi

Not sure if they are still using the name RBC/Ventura here in the states. But they are big in North Carolina. We have used them in the past for financing lot (real estate loans) on land parcels we have purchased.

They are very easy to work with.

This bodes well for the branding.

yeah, RBC advertises everywhere in Canda, tv, newspapers, internet, magazines, etc. If they advertise this url then pretty much the whole population of Canada will be seeing a .mobi name and equating it with mobile internet.

Can't think of any other company in Canada that could give a .mobi domain more exposure than RBC.
