RBC made bank scale read as trust, not distance.
Bank brands carry an unusual burden. Customers need access, but they also need restraint, control, compliance, and the feeling that the institution will still be there.
RBC's brand system works when scale feels like stability. Branch history, blue-and-gold identity, business banking, and digital tools all have to point to the same trust promise.
A large bank can feel distant if the customer only sees infrastructure. The counterweight is visible service, community banking memory, and clear controls.
