TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2017 /CNW/ - For an outstanding 10th consecutive year, Royal Bank of Canada (RY on TSX and NYSE) captured top honours for private banking services in Canada in the 2017 Euromoney Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey. In addition to this achievement, RBC received 14 first-place awards at the annual event.
"Receiving this recognition from our peers over the last 10 years is an honour," said Ann Bowman, Head, RBC Private Banking Canada.
