The Bank of Alberta was chartered in 1984.
The bank commenced operations under the vision of Dr. Charles Allard[1][2] and Eugene Pechet[3][4][5], starting with three employees working out of a boardroom located in one of Mr. Pechet’s hotels[6] in Edmonton, Alberta.
The Bank is notable not only as the genesis for the highly successful Canadian Western Bank (CWB), but as it was formed despite the challenging economic environment that pushed many competitors to reign in their activities in key western markets. As a result, the bank ultimately had a significant impact on the evolution of modern banking in Western Canada[7].
In 1988, the Bank of Alberta amalgamated with Western & Pacific Bank to become Canadian Western Bank (CWB). As of 2009, the CWB has total balance sheet assets of just under $11 billion, assets under administration of over $4 billion and assets under management approaching $1 billion.
