Transfers of Financial Assets
NOTE 9: TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL
 
ASSETS
LOAN SECURITIZATIONS
The Bank securitizes loans through structured
 
entity or non-structured entity third parties.
 
Most loan securitizations do not qualify for
 
derecognition since in most
circumstances, the Bank continues to be exposed
 
to substantially all of the prepayment, interest
 
rate, and/or credit risk associated with
 
the securitized financial
assets and has not transferred substantially
 
all of the risk and rewards of ownership
 
of the securitized assets. Where loans do not
 
qualify for derecognition, they
are not derecognized from the Bank’s Consolidated
 
Balance Sheet, retained interests are not
 
recognized, and a securitization liability is recognized
 
for the cash
proceeds received. Certain transaction costs
 
incurred are also capitalized and amortized
 
using EIRM.
The Bank securitizes insured residential
 
mortgages under the National Housing Act
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities (NHA
 
MBS) program sponsored by the
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
 
(CMHC). The MBS that are created through
 
the NHA MBS program are sold to the
 
Canada Housing Trust (CHT) as
part of the CMB program,
 
sold to third-party investors,
 
or are held by the Bank. The CHT issues
 
CMB to third-party investors and uses resulting
 
proceeds to
purchase NHA MBS from the Bank and other
 
mortgage issuers in the Canadian market. Assets
 
purchased by the CHT are commingled
 
in a single trust from which
CMB are issued. The Bank continues to be exposed
 
to substantially all of the risks of the underlying
 
mortgages, through the retention of a seller
 
swap which
transfers principal and interest payment
 
risk on the NHA MBS back to the Bank
 
in return for coupon paid on the CMB
 
issuance and as such, the sales do not
qualify for derecognition.
The Bank securitizes U.S. originated residential
 
mortgages with U.S. government agencies
 
which qualify for derecognition from the Bank’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet. As part of the securitization,
 
the Bank retains the right to service the
 
transferred mortgage loans. The MBS
 
that are created through the
securitization are typically sold to third-party
 
investors.
The Bank also securitizes business and government
 
loans to entities which may be structured
 
entities. These securitizations may give
 
rise to derecognition of
the financial assets depending on the individual
 
arrangement of each transaction.
In addition, the Bank transfers credit card receivables
 
to structured entities that the Bank consolidates.
 
Refer to Note 10 for further details.
The following table summarizes the securitized
 
asset types that did not qualify for derecognition,
 
along with their associated
 
securitization liabilities as at
October 31, 2025
 
and October 31, 2024.

Other Financial Assets Not Qualifying for
 
Derecognition
The Bank enters into certain transactions
 
where it transfers previously recognized commodities
 
and financial assets, such as debt and equity
 
securities, but retains
substantially all of the risks and rewards of
 
those assets. These transferred assets are
 
not derecognized and the transfers are accounted
 
for as financing
transactions. The most common transactions
 
of this nature are repurchase agreements
 
and securities lending agreements, in which
 
the Bank retains substantially
all of the associated credit, price, interest rate,
 
and foreign exchange risks and rewards
 
associated with the assets.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS QUALIFYING
 
FOR DERECOGNITION
Transferred financial assets that are derecognized
 
in their entirety where the Bank has a
 
continuing involvement
Continuing involvement may arise if the Bank
 
retains any contractual rights or obligations
 
subsequent to the transfer of financial assets.
 
Certain business and
government loans securitized by the Bank are
 
derecognized from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
 
Sheet. In instances where the Bank fully derecognizes
business and government loans, the Bank
 
may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans
 
through a retained interest. As at October
 
31, 2025, the fair value of
retained interests was $
1
 
million (October 31, 2024 – $
1
 
million). A gain or loss on sale of the loans
 
is recognized immediately in other income
 
(loss) after
considering the effect of hedge accounting on
 
the assets sold, if applicable. The amount
 
of the gain or loss recognized depends on
 
the previous carrying values of
the loans involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets
 
sold and the retained interests based on their
 
relative fair values at the date of transfer.
Certain portfolios of U.S. residential mortgages
 
originated by the Bank are sold and derecognized
 
from the Bank’s Consolidated
 
Balance Sheet. In certain
instances, the Bank has a continuing involvement
 
to service those loans. As at October 31, 2025,
 
the carrying value of these servicing
 
rights was $
75
 
million
(October 31, 2024 – $
81
 
million) and the fair value was $
139
 
million (October 31, 2024 – $
133
 
million). A gain or loss on sale of the loans
 
is recognized
immediately in other income (loss). The gain
 
(loss) on sale of the loans for the year ended
 
October 31, 2025 was ($
25
) million (October 31, 2024 – ($
3
) million).
