VersaBank is a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank that operates as a fully digital institution, offering a range of deposit and lending solutions through its proprietary technology platform. Headquartered in London, Ontario, the bank has chosen to forego a traditional branch network in favor of online and digital distribution, enabling it to serve clients across Canada and the United States with efficiency and lower overhead.
The bank’s primary business activities include the origination and securitization of commercial loans, equipment financing, residential mortgages and construction loans. On the deposit side, VersaBank provides high-interest savings accounts, guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) and business demand deposit accounts. The bank also securitizes pools of loans to institutional investors, supporting both liquidity management and balance-sheet optimization.
Central to VersaBank’s strategy is its technology arm, which develops and licenses a patented digital vault solution for secure record-keeping and transactional verification. This digital vault not only underpins the bank’s own operations but is also made available to other financial institutions, allowing for encrypted storage and rapid retrieval of critical documents without reliance on paper records.
Founded in the early 1980s and publicly traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker VBNK, VersaBank is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas C. Caldwell. The bank’s leadership team focuses on innovation in digital banking, aiming to expand its product suite while maintaining a strong capital base and adhering to regulatory requirements in the markets it serves.
