Who do you think will be responsible for sending out our T5's for 2026 given the recent merger? Maybe mailed to us by Canadian Western Bank? I don't see anything in my National Bank online documents.

It's not time to get our 'Knickers In A Knot', just yet. sf-smile

NBoC has until Feb. 28th to cough our T5s up.

Wait for it . . .

P.S.
CWB doesn't exist anymore.

I believe there will be a 2025 T5 from CWB for anything earned before the switch to National and a separate T5 from National for anything earned after the switch.

Dean, I am assuming 4n2t0 is asking about 2025 T5's even though they have said 2026 in the post. So for 2025 there will be T5's from CWB for the period before migration and one from National after migration assuming there is more than $50.00 of interest earned in each period.
Yes, in 2026, CWB will not exist for T5's.

BBBut Elad ⬆️ ... how can an FI that Ceased To Exist back in Nov. of last year (2025), issue T5s (or do anything else) in 2026⁉️

CWB has been 'Nyet' for ~3 three months now. The new owners (NBoC) will have to do the issuing of any T5s that are related to the now defunct CWB.

Or is the Ghost of the now-dead CWB still around? sf-wink

Canadian Western Bank has been gone for almost a year now. It and National Bank of Canada amalgamated in March 2025.

It turns out that Canadian corporate amalgamations are a bit different than US corporate mergers. McMillan lawyer Caroline Samara explains in Spot the Difference: Mergers and Amalgamations in Corporate Transactions:

Under Canadian law, the amalgamating corporations continue as one corporation that shares each pre-amalgamating entity’s rights and liabilities. Neither predecessor is dissolved – each survives in the resulting entity. The Supreme Court of Canada has analogized the legal concept of amalgamation to “a river formed by the confluence of two streams, or the creation of a single rope through the intertwining of strands”[1], effectively maintaining their shared history while taking on a new form.

In contrast, in the U.S., corporate mergers have the effect of one corporation surviving and the other(s) ceasing to exist as legal entities. The surviving corporation absorbs the liabilities and assets of the other non-surviving entities. Consolidations are also available in the U.S. as illustrated by the corporate statute in Delaware; although similar to Canadian amalgamations, a key distinction is that the resulting corporation is considered a “new corporation” under Delaware law. In neither case does the resulting corporation retain the histories of all its predecessors. …

On page 6 of the welcome to National Bank migration guide from Motive Financial states:
"During your migration period, your tax slips will be issued in two parts. You will receive tax slips from CWB that covers the period before your migration, and a second 2025 tax slip from National Bank that covers the period after your migration. If the amount of interest paid for CWB or National Bank is less than $50.00, no tax slip will be issued."

My Motus interest income is reflected on my Coast Capital T5 for 2025.

Elad, you are correct.
I just received my T5 slips from CWB for my Motive accounts that were migrated to NBC.
NBC will issue T5 slips for the period post migration.

Thanks, I will check my mail tomorrow. In Ontario today is a holiday, so I doubt that any mail was delivered.

I don't see this posted anywhere but here it is anyway:

"For 2025, CWB clients who have migrated to National Bank- your tax slips will be issued in two parts:

- You will receive a tax slip from CWB that covers the period between Jan1, 2025 and your migration date.
This printed CWB tax Slip displays "CWB" as the issuer, however, the issuer may display "National Bank of Canada" on your CRA on-line account.

- You still also receive a tax slip from National Bank that covers the period between your migration date and December 31, 2025.

There was mail delivery on Family Day by Canada Post.
Family Day is an Ontario provincial statutory holiday.
Canada Post is under federal legislation.

Received T5's from CWB re Motive accounts yesterday. These are for period up to the migration date.
It states NB will send a T5 for period after migration to December 31 2025

Motive T5 mailed and received few days ago -- Canadian Western Bank

However,

T5 shows up in My CRA but it's under BANQUE NATIONALE DU CANADA

Question is when we file our tax, do we use Canadian Western or BANQUE NATIONALE DU CANADA?

If you are using tax software, the Netfile dataset simply rolls up the T5 amounts, with no identifiers by source, and it thus doesn't matter for CRA purposes. The identifiers are for your use when populating the software.
