The bank will expand its collaboration with Futurpreneur to support 25,000 young and Indigenous entrepreneurs and help launch 2,350 businesses over five years, according to Canada NewsWire.

What does the commitment fund?

The CAD 70.00 million-plus program combines philanthropy, business loans and operating capital.

For investors, the announcement is strategically smaller than RBC's banking operations but gives the bank a measurable five-year operating commitment.
