Bank on B.C.: Why Vancouver is the Strategic Choice for the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank

The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank will soon call Canada home. But it doesn’t need another financial centre. Rather, it needs reach, delivery, and a place that’s ready now. And that place is Vancouver.

As Canada’s most international province, Vancouver is strategically positioned to deliver on the DSRB’s objectives. We are the only Canadian city that physically links the Indo-Pacific, the Arctic, and Europe in a single operating day, allowing the bank to coordinate with allied governments, industries, and financial partners simultaneously. British Columbia has delivered first-of-kind technologies time and time again, while the Port of Vancouver, Canada’s largest port, moves real cargo at real scale.

In Vancouver, the DSRB can operate on day one. We have move-in-ready, secure floors in the downtown banking core and rapid-transit from the airport to office in under 20 minutes. We provide nearly 98% clean power on a Crown-corporation grid, in addition to a skilled, international workforce.

This is not a banking decision. It’s a strategic one. We are asking the federal government to Bank on B.C. Visit bankonbc.ca to learn more.
