Notes
Source: Bank of Canada
Federally-regulated credit unions and subsidiaries of non-bank financial institutions are excluded from the universe of chartered banks for the purposes of the Banking and Financial Statistics (BFS) tables. This treatment is consistent with the methodology used by Statistics Canada in their key economic and financial statistical programs (e.g., National Balance Sheet Accounts), which follows the NAICS framework.
The data shown provides information on the Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) and related products secured by residential properties in Canada with the exception of business loans. Reporting coverage encompasses selected chartered banks with the largest total assets.
The reporting practices for combined plans vary across financial institutions, and the mortgage component of combined plans may be reported as either a mortgage or a HELOC.
For supplemental information and general details on the source data, please visit the Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) (J2) instructions on the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) website. Please note that the re-advanceable part of a loan has undergone a definition change effective 2021 Q1.
