Canadian Western Bank (CWB) was a Canadian Schedule I bank headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The bank provided banking and financial services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and individuals, with a longstanding focus on Western Canada.
CWB’s services included business and personal deposit accounts, commercial and personal lending, mortgages, equipment financing, treasury and cash-management services, and wealth-management solutions. Through its specialized businesses, the bank also served sectors such as agriculture, construction, transportation and commercial real estate.
Canadian Western Bank operated through a network of branches and financial-services offices across several Canadian provinces, including Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Its banking operations were complemented by subsidiaries and divisions focused on equipment financing, wealth management and specialized commercial lending.
National Bank of Canada completed its acquisition of Canadian Western Bank in February 2025, after receiving the required shareholder and regulatory approvals. CWB consequently ceased operating as an independent publicly traded bank and became part of National Bank’s operations.
