內容大綱
By the end of 2013, PC Financial remained one of the few successful no-frills banking providers in Canada. Since its founding in 1998, the company had grown into a significant competitor in consumer financial services with nearly three million customers and $644 million in revenue. The financial crisis of 2008 and the competitive situation in Canadian retail financial services had led to the acquisition and in some cases closure of several of its competitors. While the changes in the market arguably seemed to be beneficial by reducing competition, they also raised questions about the company’s ability to continue as a separate operating entity.
