PC Financial

PC Financial (President's Choice Financial) is the financial-services brand of Canadian grocery giant Loblaw Companies Limited. Its personal banking and Mastercard credit-card products are issued by President's Choice Bank, a federally chartered Schedule I bank and CDIC member, while insurance is offered through PC Financial Insurance. The digital-first, branchless brand centers on the no-fee PC Money Account (a Mastercard-network everyday spending account launched September 2020), a line of PC Financial and PC World Elite Mastercard credit cards, and deep integration with the PC Optimum loyalty program across Loblaw's grocery, pharmacy, and retail banners. Consumer banking (chequing, savings, mortgages) was transferred to CIBC's Simplii Financial in 2017, so PC Financial today is a rewards-linked digital banking arm rather than a full-service bank. In December 2025 Equitable Bank (EQB) agreed to acquire PC Financial from Loblaw for roughly $800 million. On open finance, PC Financial runs NO public first-party developer portal or API; Canada's Consumer-Driven Banking framework is legislated but not yet operational, so consumer account access today is aggregator/screen-scraping-based via providers such as Plaid and Finicity (Mastercard). The bank supports Interac e-Transfer on the PC Money Account as shared payments-rail participation.
