Related Party Transactions
NOTE 26: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Parties are considered to be related if one party
 
has the ability to directly or indirectly
 
control the other party or exercise significant influence
 
over the other party in
making financial or operational decisions.
 
The Bank’s related parties include key management
 
personnel, their close family members and their related
 
entities,
subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, and
 
post-employment benefit plans for the Bank’s employees.
TRANSACTIONS WITH KEY MANAGEMENT
 
PERSONNEL, THEIR CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS,
 
AND THEIR RELATED ENTITIES
Key management personnel are those persons
 
having authority and responsibility
 
for planning, directing,
 
and controlling the activities of the Bank, directly
 
or
indirectly. The Bank considers certain of its officers and directors to be
 
key management personnel. The Bank
 
makes loans to its key management personnel,
 
their
close family members,
 
and their related entities on market
 
terms and conditions with the exception of
 
banking products and services for key
 
management
personnel, which are subject to approved policy
 
guidelines that govern all employees.
As at October 31, 2025, $
131
 
million (October 31, 2024 – $
14
 
million) of related party loans were outstanding
 
from key management personnel, their
 
close family
members,
 
and their related entities. This amount
 
also includes balances from certain retired
 
key management personnel.

In addition, the Bank offers deferred share and
 
other plans to non-employee directors, executives,
 
and certain other key employees. Refer
 
to Note 21 for further
details.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank
 
also provides various banking services to associated
 
and other related corporations on terms
 
similar to those
offered to non-related parties.
TRANSACTIONS WITH SUBSIDIARIES,
 
SCHWAB, AND SYMCOR INC.
Transactions between the Bank and its subsidiaries
 
meet the definition of related party transactions.
 
If these transactions are eliminated on
 
consolidation, they are
not disclosed as related party transactions.
Transactions between the Bank, Schwab, and Symcor
 
Inc. (Symcor) also qualify as related party
 
transactions. As the Bank’s entire remaining equity
 
investment
in Schwab was sold on February 12, 2025, Schwab
 
is no longer a related party as of October
 
31, 2025, but was a related party up to the date
 
of sale. There were
no significant transactions between the Bank,
 
Schwab, and Symcor during the year
 
ended October 31, 2025, other than as described
 
in the following sections and
in Note 12.
