YES! WINNIPEG 23 Number of employees Powering Innovative Ideas National Bank Founded in 1859, National Bank is one of the largest financial institutions in Canada. It serves consumers, small- and medium-sized enterprises and large corporations with its comprehensive financial services. As one of the six systemically important banks in Canada, National Bank is also focused on developing social fabrics at a local level. With 428 branches across Canada, the company employs over 23,000 people – including some 800 in Western Canada. National Bank Financial – Wealth Management, a subsidiary of National Bank, is also one of the largest wealth management firms in Canada. Doing things differently for National Bank means thinking about financial services through a different lens. By focusing on leading-edge digital and mobile banking services, new branch concepts where advice and technology converge, and on developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem, the bank keeps the needs of its clients and partners in high regard. This translates into helping companies find the funding they need, which National Bank has been authorizing – including $79 billion alone in 2017 for Canadian companies. An emphasis on employees and community service means National Bank has a longstanding tradition of helping develop the communities it serves. For example, the institution has been a key partner of the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation, a charitable organization which supports life-saving medical research and life-changing patient care. National Bank has been active in Manitoba for over 100 years. Being an economic driver in Winnipeg, National Bank values the importance of investing in the community and continues to provide the highest level of service to its clients and partners. "By helping clients, employees and the different communities it serves, National Bank has been a longtime value creator in Winnipeg. We are very proud to play an active role in our local communities and promote innovation, social development, entrepreneurship and diversity more widely in Manitoba."
