Finance and insurance
Image
The Finance and Insurance industry was home to approximately 472 establishments and employed 11,338 people in 2024, making up 5.1% of the total workforce (Lightcast, February 10, 2025). In 2024, employment in the finance and insurance sector was forecasted to fall 1%. Looking into 2025, employment is forecast to drop in the city's finance, insurance, and real estate industry (down 0.6%). However, job creation in the sector will rebound in 2026 and improve over the forecast period between 2026 and 2029 in which employment in the finance, insurance, and real estate sector will increase by an annual average of 1.3%. Healthcare and social services; manufacturing; and the finance, insurance, and real estate industries will continue to make up much of the city’s labour force in the coming years. Demand for housing and durable goods, especially big-ticket items that often require loans, have been subdued as households grapple with high inflation and elevated interest rates. As a result, output growth in London’s finance, insurance, and real estate sector was modest in 2024 and appears to be trending that way again in 2025.
London is home to longstanding financial institutions such as Libro Credit Union and Canada Life, and has a well-developed network of banks, credit unions, and investment firms. This variety provides access to diverse financial services that support businesses, individuals, and the broader economy. Canada's "Big Five" banks include TD Canada Trust, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), the Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank), the Bank of
Montreal (BMO), and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC); all of which have a strong presence in the city, providing personal and commercial banking, mortgages, loans, and wealth management.
