Mission Statement

Delivering financial services that strengthen the economic well-being of Indigenous Peoples.

Indigenous Trust Services

For 25 years, First Nations Bank of Canada has proudly served our customers. We’ve partnered with growing Indigenous businesses and communities looking to the future.

Now we are bringing that same community focus, care, and attention to Indigenous Trust Services through our subsidiary, FNB Trust. From trust set up to administration – we are committed to supporting Indigenous prosperity, leadership, and well-being.

Our History

The founders of First Nations Bank of Canada had a vision to develop a federally-chartered bank serving Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people throughout Canada. The Bank was conceived and developed by Indigenous People, for Indigenous People and regards itself as an important step toward Indigenous economic self-sufficiency.

The strategic directive of the founding shareholders was to grow the Bank and increase Indigenous ownership to the point that the Bank would be controlled by a widely held group of Indigenous shareholders. Effective Nov 1, 2009 that objective became a reality and now the Bank is over 80% owned and controlled by Indigenous shareholders from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Quebec.

With the support of its Indigenous shareholders, the Bank has demonstrated consistent growth and profitability. Bank services are available through a network of full service branches (five on reserve), Community Banking Centres and electronic banking channels.

Why First Nations Bank of Canada?
