In recent developments, Éric Provost was appointed President and CEO in October 2023. On December 2, 2025, Laurentian Bank announced an agreement for its sale, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals, where its commercial banking business would be acquired by Fairstone Bank of Canada, and its personal and small business banking operations by National Bank of Canada. Despite this pending split, the bank unveiled a new strategic plan on April 29, 2026, aiming to strengthen its position by focusing on commercial banking as a growth engine and attracting young and middle-class customers in personal banking, following a reported net loss of $117.5 million in Q2 2026.
