It is the Royal Bank of Canada, one of the worlds largest banks. 
Additionally the Bank of BC (much smaller as it is a provincial
bank) has also gone with OS/2.  CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce) runs OS/2.  Toronto Dominion Bank runs OS/2.  These banks
handle about 75% of all banking in Canada as well as having major
investments round the world.  I personally use the Royal Bank of
Canada, not because the service is good in Canada, but rather that
the service is good in any major city in the world.  I can find out
the CFL football scores and the hockey scores in Taipei, and Seoul
from my Royal Bank of Canada representative.  There are Royal Banks
of Canada in all areas.  It is a much bigger bank than most would
think.

The Royal bank of Canada has major investments in OS/2.
