**The Details:**

-   Scotiabank CEO Travis Machen said, “This marks a significant investment in our U.S. operations, reinforcing our presence in Texas since the 1960s.”
-   The office will prioritize local hiring, with at least 25% of jobs reserved for Dallas residents, and offer internships with Dallas College and other local institutions.
-   Operations are expected to begin by late 2026, pending final approvals.

**Why It Matters:**  
This investment bolsters Dallas’s status as a financial hub and supports Texas’s economic growth amid rising demand for financial services.
