Andrew Moor, a devoted husband, beloved Dad and challenger Bank CEO passes at 65

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Andrew Richard Garnault Moor on June 23rd, 2025, in Toronto. Andrew possessed a sharp mind, generous heart and a strong sense of purpose – creating a life defined by curiosity, love for his family and thoughtful leadership.

Born on May 30th, 1960, in London, UK, Andrew was the eldest son of John and Mary Moor, and the proud older brother to four siblings. Andrew spent his childhood in the English countryside developing a love of nature, birds and sailing on the nearby sea. He cherished his English roots and his accent was part of his charm during his adult life in Canada.

After graduating from University College London, Andrew began his career as a mechanical engineer. He then transitioned into business after an MBA at the University of British Columbia. Andrew initially built his career at CIBC Wood Gundy, Smed and Invis before becoming CEO of Equitable Bank. Under Andrew’s leadership, Equitable transformed from a small trust company to the country’s seventh-largest bank and launched the digital platform, EQ Bank. Today, EQ Bank serves over 700,000 customers and is known as Canada’s Challenger Bank. Andrew was a passionate advocate for fintech innovation that would challenge the status quo and benefit everyday Canadians. He cherished his colleagues and led with a style that was down-to-earth, enthusiastic and empathetic. He always had a good sense of humour and his distinctive laugh frequently reverberated the halls of the office.

Andrew lived a vibrant life and was joyful, warm and kind. He had a genuine interest in others and enjoyed engaging conversation with his family and friends. Andrew loved the outdoors and was an avid sailor, cyclist and skier. He took great joy from the people and communities that surrounded these activities. However, Andrew’s greatest treasure was his family. The adventure of his life was building a loving home in Canada with his wife, Mags. He was a proud and dedicated father. He encouraged his kids to chase their dreams and provided unwavering support. His family will forever remember his example of living with passion and integrity.

Andrew is survived by his wife of 37 years, Mags; his children Dan, Cat and Sarah “Bear”; his mother Mary; his siblings Ali, Helen, Mel, and Dom and extended family. Visitation hours will be from 1-3 pm and 5-8 pm on Monday, July 7th at Mount Pleasant Funeral Centre (375 Mt Pleasant Rd.). A funeral mass will take place at 10 am on Tuesday, July 8th at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church (78 Clifton Rd.), with a reception to follow at the RCYC City Club (141 St. George).
