Banking at ATB Helps Get Alberta Moving
When you bank at ATB, you help move our province forward. And during these tough times, that help can go a long way. Keeping your money at ATB enables us to give loans and financing so that Albertans can attend university, buy homes, grow their businesses, expand their fleets, and the list goes on. So, if you’ve ever asked the question, “What happens to my money when I bank at ATB Financial?” That’s the answer. We keep that money here in Alberta, helping Albertans and our province.
It’s been that way since 1938, when ATB was founded. It was a great provincial depression and ATB was built to give Albertans the opportunity to succeed. It was a promise the big banks at the time wouldn’t provide. Fast forward to today. Whether you’re coming to us for a simple savings plan, or setting up a business account—to everything in between—we’re transparent about how we do business.
When you choose to bank at ATB, you choose a made-in-Alberta success story. Our goal is to be profitable so you can be profitable, too.
Helping Alberta thrive
ATB is a Crown corporation, which means our net income (the profit we earn after expenses and deductions) and retained earnings (the amount of net income we retain after paying costs and income taxes) are consolidated with government finances, flowing back into provincial coffers. Money can then go toward anything from major infrastructure projects to manufacturing, or even job creation. Bottom line, the money stays right here at home and is put to good use within Alberta. Meanwhile, other financial institutions see their money go out-of-province to shareholders and dividends.
We’re proud to be doing our part to provide more than just a spot for you to save and grow your money. We also help create jobs in Alberta—5,000 of them right here at ATB—and help Albertans spend their income here at home. That’s a pretty big win-win.
Community. People. Business.
From small-to-big, we’re invested in all of our communities, and want to see them grow. Whether you find us in small or larger centres, we are all connected. ATB is proud to play a role in every community we’re a part of. So remember, when you bring your money to ATB, you’re not just helping us be profitable, you’re helping Albertans:
- Realize their dreams of a buying a home
- Start a business
- Finish post-secondary education
- Expand a family farm
- Assist charitable organizations
- Hire new employees
ATB will continue to create a positive ripple effect, by making your money work within Alberta.
