“With the bank leaving, it’s just another thing in Esquimalt that’s gone away, so it’s kind of sad,” Debbie Cooper, 55, who was born and raised in Esquimalt.
The RBC Bank, which called Esquimalt Plaza home, is moving its location to Uptown. Esquimalt’s mayor says the bank’s move happened quickly, but RBC is looking at alternative replacements. Desjardins believes that it’s only a matter of time before another brick-and-mortar bank will open in Esquimalt, offering the personal touch many have come to rely on.
“I think we should need a bank here. Because Esquimalt has grown…and a lot of seniors need a bank,” said Hong Nguyen, who started the business with her husband in the 1990s.“We’re high-tech now. We got a credit machine,” said Nguyen.
